Well, of course popular media is going to base the jokes on things the audience has actually
heard of. What's the point of making a crack on Buddhism if you then have to stop and spend 5 minutes explaining some fine details of the religion and it's history for the audience to understand how that pun you made that reflected poorly on the characteristics of a certain 13th century Cambodian monk was
really funny?
You want to see mocking of another non-Christian culture? Catch an episode of NBC's new series
Outsourced before it is canned.
