Jonesy vs. The Apocalypse
In an unheard of second straight post, I'd like to point out one of the best parodies I've ever seen, I believe, except for the Somethingawful.com photoshop of children's books two years ago. It's a nice rip on Jack Chick, the tract guy with the horribly paranoid and bigoted comics that you've all been handed "in the name of Jesus" at some time or another.
Anyways, it features what it might be like if Jack worked for the Elder Gods of H.P. Lovecrafts stories instead of for the Christian God.
If you need an example of Chick's stuff to counteract it with...here's the latest one. Letting the world know that every muslim person in the world desires nothing more than an exploding child! Thank you Jack Chick, what the world needs now is more hatred and unreasonable racism.
Thought I'd pass it along, and that's all.
UPDATE
I changed the title so that you might pay me some attention. And, The Vines are sooooooo mainstream, where as The Webb Brothers are not.
This isn't really in much of a way related to the Chick thing, except it also involves Jesus, and is also not worthy of a post devoted solely to it, so I bunched them together. Namely, it's my new favorite Family Guy quote, ever:
"Good evening. I'm playing the role of Jesus; a man once played on the big screen by Jeffery Hunter. You may remember him as the actor who was replaced by William Shatner on Star Trek. Apparently Mr. Hunter was good enough to die for our sins, but not quite up to the task of seducing green women.
"Anywho. The perennial dictum is to spread good will towards all men. The irony, of course, is that this is contrary to our nature. So why do we do it? Because we are being watched. And so, we unselfishly think of others, assured that our good behavior will be rewarded with love...and plutonium."
