         Charlton Heston gave his media buz entrenched right-wing views and guns where his acting career was of secondary importance.
         Should we be influenced by  Heston beliefs in God and guns, anymore than by Jim Carrey's peaceful demonstration.  Does it matter that Tom Cruise and John Travolta are Scientologists, or that Shirley Maclaine or Pope are waiting for aliens?  Why should I be told where to stand and who mouth other people's words of second handme downs messages? Why altered my veiws for Jimmy Stewart gung-ho about the Vietnam war? War and guns solves nothing.
         
         Was it Blasphemy just because
         Charles Heston makes biblical movies flawed in much factual or evidence. Was it insulting to Heston God anymore than to Gandhi's God who was actually shot to death? Why would God approve guns or nukes rather than Jim Carrey funny peaceful demonstration? Jim's showed no Burning, destroying and vandalising anything religious or symbols for the simple minded. No spitting or urinating on anything religious. I don't think just disagreeing about guns makes anyone a blasphemist. Do you?

      Charlton Heston was most famous for biblically movies, that were top grossing movies at the time. Today the top grossing biblically movie was Noah with Russel Crowe. Only biblical movie in the top 100 grossing films of all time was Noah. Many Christians believe it was the most unbiblical movie ever made..

            Either way. Judging by Jim Cary's look this was made before 2008. It would have been funny then. After that, not so much.

               Charlton Heston dared Al Gore to pry his gun from his "cold, dead hand" at an NRA convention in 2000.

               Carrey's lyrics in the song were meant to specifically target male gun owners below the belt and the NRA.
               
               How can this be insulting to Heston death other than Heston supporting guns. When God, guns and war killings, kill more people than for any other reason. Except poverty, poverty poor is over control by their fear of guns and over authority.

What other insaneity is worst than a done deal, finished, like killing someone?  Your more likely to kill someone with a gun, you know,  than a burglar. Your three times more likely to kill yourself by having a gun than by not having one.

    I saw a MADD magazine comic strip about TV series of Kung Fu martial art  a western drama television series starring David Carradine.
    MADD showed David (star) allowed American cowboys to beat him up. Then asked the American cowboys dose that not make you all feel very bad by beating me up. (taught by grasshopper teacher) the cowboys response was, well I feel pretty good. Another said... yeah I fell great actually.
