Margaret Cho is a female actor whose main focus of comedy is based on religion. Her inspiration for making fun of Christianity is based off of Bill Hicks. Her audience is typically middle aged people with a diverse ethnic background of White, Asian, Hispanic, and African Americans. Margartet starts off her stand-up talking about how "Christian family groups are out of control, they have lost their minds" because the only reason they voted for George Bush was to make sure that gay people would not get married. She makes the joke afterwards by saying that even satanists are calling these people really mean. She also backs up her point about how Christians are crazy when they started to complain about how spongebob is gay and the show shouldnt be on TV. Margaret after wards in an angry voice screams...Spongebob is a SPONGE. Her main arguments in this joke come from her anger at how stupid these religious followers are and that they cannot think for themselves. They only beleive in what they were raised by and how this is screwing up society.
