Catholic League: Fox Networks 'Mindy Project' Showed 'Potentially Lethal' Anal Sex Scene



The Catholic League is displeased with Mindy Kaling, warning in a statement today that the “The Mindy Project” creator, along with her “homosexual writers,” may inadvertently kill people with a suggestive scene involving jokes about anal sex. “Binge drinking, like anal sex, is potentially lethal, but Hollywood only has an interest in promoting the latter,” Catholic League president Bill Donohue writes. “That’s because of the large number of homosexual writers who work there. Catholics would appreciate it, however, if they would keep their dark secrets in the closet, where they belong.”


…Last night’s episode of “The Mindy Project,” a Fox Network show, opened with an implied sex scene involving Dr. Mindy Lahiri (played by Mindy Kaling) and Danny Castellano (played by Chris Messina); it was titled, “I Slipped!” The room is dark and there is moaning. Here is how the script unfurls:

Mindy: “Oh my God, Danny, this is heaven. Wait! Danny, Danny, that doesn’t go there!”
Danny: “I slipped!”

After the title sequence, the two characters are shown in an office arguing about the sexual encounter from the night before. Mindy is upset with what Danny did. Danny insists it was a mistake. It is implied that Danny attempted anal sex.

Mindy: “Okay, so you’re innocent? You had no intent?” Danny: “Of course no intent. I’m Catholic. Even if I think about that…”
Mindy: “They promote you to Cardinal?”
Danny: “Hey! Hey! That is all over. It’s over. Pope Frank is on the case.”
Danny: “Can we please just go talk about this in your office, please?”
Mindy: “I don’t know, Danny, because my office only has one entrance and I don’t know if that’s enough for you anymore.”



Bill Donohue offers his thoughts on this episode:

Binge drinking, like anal sex, is potentially lethal, but Hollywood only has an interest in promoting the latter. That’s because of the large number of homosexual writers who work there. Catholics would appreciate it, however, if they would keep their dark secrets in the closet, where they belong.

1. "The Catholic League"; in other words, Bill Donohue

Being an altar boy in certain Catholic dioceses is potentially lethal, too, Bill. But the Catholic League (you) only has an interest in deflecting attention from that fact. The rest of decent society would appreciate it, however, if you helped yourself to nice big cup of shut the fuck up.

About 2.19 million viewers watched the show and will not see a fourth year. It gets horrible ratings and will be cancelled soon enough.

members. They have a board of directors full of famous names, a budget of about 3 million a year and Donohue is paid about 400K a year.
I know many want him to be one guy with a fax machine but he is not. Would that he were.

I always liked Mindy on the Office, and I'm sorry I haven't found the time to watch her new show.

15. That's a good question; the answer is, "no one's quite sure"

I checked both the Wikipedia page and the Catholic League page on him; neither mentions his marital status. This leads me to believe he's never been married, and since he IS a doctrinally absolutist Catholic that would also mean he's never had sex.

and not in the least perverted. At least not by my standards, anyway.

So, my initial suspicions were correct...

Bill Donohue is an asshole.

His followers are assholes.

He can kiss my asshole.

13. This serves as an offical warning to potential sex partners of Donohue, should they exist.

If anal sex is potentially lethal, do not engage in sexual congress with Bill Donohue as he is a raging, gaping asshole. Is your life really worth 3 minutes of boredom?!
