So if this actually aired on the 700 Club, then at 2:22, ol’ Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcast Network was showing full-on male nudity.

Think of the CHILDREN!!

I’m sticking my ass in the air and daring all the gods humans have made up to strike me down too.

Crickets, I got crickets over here…

Still nothing…

I better pull my pants up before I get fired.

embers of Judaeo-Christian culture are burning low

I guess the Burning Man folks weren’t doing it in the proper Kosher way.

Holy shit, Ned Flanders is a real person?!

News flash Neddy, it’s all make-believe, just like your own religion.

I caught that too-- he actually says “sit up straight”, as if good posture was going to save America from pagan play-acting.

I was surprised by that. Did they… not notice?

Oh, they have a problem all right, but they’ll never realize it.

The 700 Club only exists on the airwaves thanks to a deal Pat Robertson made with Fox and then Disney.

I wonder if Pat Robertson ever attended Bohemian Grove?

If so, too bad it was before the day of omnipresent cell phone cameras. (I wonder what the current Bohemian Grove does about that? Of course, the worst thing that could happen is that it’s revealed that it’s nowhere near as exciting as Alex Jones made out.)
