The Book of Mormon- controversial or simply entertainment

Just finished listening to the whole soundtrack of The Book of Mormon. Gotta say its really well-written, i enjoyed all the musical numbers thoroughly. I wonder if it is going against my faith to watch it tho. My favorite song in the whole musical is Hasa Diga Eabowai, which simply is something completely and utterly inappropriate! But if I fine-tune the lyrics out, its beautifully composed.
I guess this is pretty much like Jesus Christ, Superstar, one of the most controversial musicals in the history of Christianity, yet so many people stream in to enjoy this classical creation of Andrew Llyod.
Perhaps it is all in the mind, and to appreciate such degree of compositional creativity, I guess its just drawing the line between what is truly going against one's faith vs. hedonism in such 'trashy' musicals as some may say.

The week is coming to a close, and I love everyday after Wednesday! :D My kindle arrived today, its lovely & I'm bubbling with excitement BUT the kindle doesn't allow me to connect to the school wifi which sucks. Gotta find somewhere else with wifi. :(
My virgin book on my kindle's gonna be The hunger games for sure!
Watched my first episode of Homeland, an amazing show! Can't wait to watch another episode today. Biz media has gotta be my favorite module this semester! everything to do with TV and movies, what more can students ask for?
Our first assignment is a paper on 1 out of 5 choices. I've picked Alcatraz, but fell asleep when watching the pilot for it last night, but perhaps that was because it was 3am in the morning rather than the show was boring.

If there's one reason to hate the cold, it gives me the worst cramps. Been suffering since yesterday, to the extent that I can barely concentrate during lessons. Skipped breakfast because my cramps were working up again at 8AM THIS MORNING. grrr...
TGIF tomorrow, but it will be a mad rush trying to complete all the assignments so my weekends will be free. Its difficult to manage studies here because it is more time-consuming than anything else.

Hey! came across your blog - yeah, I always have the same feelings about faith and art. What crosses the line, what's disrespectful, or what's just being honest? Generally I think there's a lot of more "christian" art being produced by non-christians, as if God is speaking through anybody, getting a message across. Probably NOT through the makers of South Park, though. But it is funny.
