This Sunday's New York Times Magazine had an article about Christian videogame makers.
www.nytimes.com/2005/05/01...1GAMES.html
As far as I can tell, the rise of fundamentalist-friendly music and books and film is all about branding. If it has "Christian" in the name, it's the good brand! Our competitor is the boss from Hell...literally! And so on.
Find an area in which the godless heathens and Satanists and secular humanists are allowed free speech, and then make a lite substitute that your children can be exposed to without any fear they'll hear bad language or different ideas...and you'll make a fortune.
But what's left, you ask?
Christian porn.
Christian porn would have to be straight, it goes without saying. Jesus may have ridden on the back of an ass, but that sort of thing has no place here. And every film must state clearly at the outset that the couple we're watching are married and use no form of contraception.
"Jeepers, Sally, have we made a baby yet?" "No, darn it, we'll just have to keep trying!"
And best of all, they'll carry it in all the Christian bookstores because it says "Christian" on the label, so you know it's Good.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to practice lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills while I wait for the cash to come rolling in...

Wed, May 4, 2005 - 9:57 AMVery Milton Berle and "oh God!" John Denver and George Burns
George Burns that's who I was hearing in my head.
if people would just stay in their boxcars
until we get them to the right reservation
we could promise them a suntan in a cage in cuba
and if their lucky they might end up a gay pornstar
in the third world.
it's not like we are germans or russians
and trying to creat human fertilizer
or repopulate siberia
no we are second generation europeans
mostly of british descent
we haven't drawn and quartered people in years
can you say poly wants a glass of water?
gulag gulag gulag
then there is that horrible joke about
a black man, an indian, and a white cowboy
sitting around a campfire....but you probably have heard it.
salute tf.
