Even though this is a parody and it is about Buddhists, there are Buddhists who would not only be offended but react in a militant and violent way. This is the inherent problem with religion itself. They all have a figure on which to focus. If that figure is attacked or parodied, the pathetic followers wind themselves up and go on the warpath.

That is why everyone should ignore the ceremony and false idols of the pageantry of the religion and focus solely on the philosophy that it pushes. Buddhism is a great philosophy. The philosophies of Xianity and Islam are not bad and worth pursuing by their followers. It is the phony bullshit that is slapped on to give a job to some schmuck in a robe that is inherently bad.
