While Mel Gibson uses the Catholic Church as an ATM, the makers of South Park are working on their own sacred cash cow. On the same date that The Passion of the Christ is being released on DVD, you can go down to South Park for three unholy episodes. "The Passion of the Jew," "Christian Rock Hard," and "Red Hot Catholic Love" are every bit as controversial as Gibson's Passion and loads more inspiring. Sure, Gibson tries to tell the seminal story of the Bible, but South Park has Mad Mel spraying his feces on children, Martha Stewart sitting on a cooked turkey, and Cartman singing the hymnotic "Touch Me Jesus." You decide which one's more important. That being said, the DVD comes with no extras, so unless you're one of the 12 people who haven't been pummeled by reruns of these episodes on Comedy Central, we suggest you give your money to a more noble causesend checks to Maxim Online, c/o Entertainment Editor, 1040 6th Ave....
