Some gentlemen I am familiar with quickly rose to the challenge. They wish to remain anonymous. All they wanted made clear is that they did these during lunch hour:
So, anyway, I was going to take back my assertion that nothing is too outlandish to be marketed for real, but now I'm told two Christian publishers have heard about these and are already negotiating for the rights. That may be an apocryphal detail. I'm not sure.
As Matt Drudge would say,
Developing....
Thanks for the cheap laugh.

ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know I could learn about John Wesley from my Bible! That was somewhat funny, though...
Nathan,
ReplyDeleteThat was just WRONG!!!! :-)
Okay, so I sent the picture of Biker Grandma to a buddy and dared him to show it to his wife and tell her he got an email from the Lord letting him peer into her future...
ReplyDeleteHe'll sleep on the couch for a week! LOL
I don't think Nathan's problem with that "song" was the intentions of the "artist" as much as the marriage of the sacred with the profane.

My input? How does one give input to THAT? It was funny, horrifying, deeply disturbing, and appalling all at once.
ReplyDeleteHe DIDN'T put that together during lunch hour, I'll wager.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the cheap morning amusement to brighten my dull, dull, Grey british morning!

No fair. I want to see one that has dictionary-grammar book-slide ruler weilding wrathful homeschool moms.
ReplyDeleteI think it was the rock band Styx that sang, "Too Much Time on My Hands." :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you Phil.
ReplyDeleteAt first I though it was a joke and I began laughing, but it kept going and going...getting worse and worse, then I was completely flabbergasted (for lack of a stronger word), and kind of filled with rage [Godly rage :)]. Oh, and since I know the real version very well from my former days (know the exact words that is), it shocked me even more.
Now, THAT would indeed be funny, if it weren't produced by Southern Baptists who apparently intended the message not as a parody, but as a quasi-serious statement of the philosophy that underlies their approach to ministry.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I live near a couple of young fellows who have been watching the thread about targeting specific communities with magazine-format Bibles.
They did some research, and discovered the following unreached people-groups for whom no Biblezine yet exists:
goth girls (this one is in development, though)
Trekkies
homeless people
WASPy guys with boats
Legionnaires
schizophrenics (Suggested feature: "Oh, How He Loves You and Me")
carnies
beekeepers
stevedores
monster truck enthusiasts
agoraphobics
alpaca breeders
...and many more.
I think we might need to think about starting a Wycliffe-Bible-Translators-type group to make sure all the various communities get their own Biblezines by the year 2100.
As Eloise might say: "Word up, bro."
