John Safran's Race Relations includes a skit involving the presenter simulating a sex scene to an image of US President Barack Obama.
The segment in the first episode of the show depicts Safran masturbating to President Obama inside a Palestinian sperm bank, and also encourages a Palestinian film crew member to do the same inside an Israeli sperm bank.
"The sperm bank story is an edgy comedy sequence about the ideal of cross-cultural harmony," the spokesman said.
Australian Family Association spokesman John Morrissey described the show as "filth".
"It's offensive and it's in bad taste and it's certainly not something that kids should be exposed to," Mr Morrissey said.
The Australian Family Association is the catholic church using one of its many alias'. Again, why does the general Australian public care what the catholic church thinks about anything. Why do we give these groups the right of reply?
We never agreed with them on contraception, recently we unanimously disagreed with them on abortion and the majority of Australians don't agree with them on same sex marriage.
All the time religious groups are trying to destroy the one great hope for the survival of the human species, stem cell therapies. They are trying to forward two thousand year old thinking by attempting to destroy modern day breakthroughs.
And if the catholic church wants to talk morals, let's start with its recent history of molesting little boys and little girls.

Maybe they have the same rights of reply as you seem to value.
But, so often, they are the only voice offered up, the religious right masquerading as some family group. I realise it’s just to sell newspapers, you know, get the controversy sparking. Why don’t we hear from the Lesbian collective, or the socialist party, or the AMA?
And, come on, this is comedy. What’s wrong with Australia that it is intent on censoring comedy lately? This country is in real danger of losing its sense of humour. And I’m sure John Safran never suggested that children should be watching.
