No one and nothing is above criticism or ridicule. The funny thing is that the more they come out all guns blazing trying to censor people from criticizing or poking fun at them, the more oversensitive, insecure, intolerant, defensive and overzealous they appear. Hopefully their heavy handedness makes people stop and think twice before being taken in by their hogwash.
"When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself." Peter O'Toole.
