Proof I’ve been blogging too long #784

I knew just from hearing his voice that the narrator of this commercial was Lou Engle, the Reverend Jim Ignatowski of creepy evangelical teen fasting:

I mean, Engle doesn’t even have his own Wikipedia page yet and I recognized his voice. It’s just plain wrong that I would’ve known it was him.  I swear, after the election, I’m unplugging from politics, wrapping myself around a gallon bottle of Tullamore Dew, and plowing through the entire collection of Get a Life episodes I just downloaded via BitTorrent. That’s not a threat, that’s a promise. [via Digby]

REASON #INFINITY WHY I LOVE MY WIFE: When I told Chris about Engle encouraging teens to fast, she replied, “Because Jesus loves skinny bitches, right?”

I loves me some Get a Life!

And that dude’s voice is beyond creepy. 

Why does it make me think of Herbert the Pervert?

I know they don’t sound alike, but I just get this feeling.

Could these assholes please just drink the Jonestown Kool-aid already and spare us all their drama?

Oooooh, Lord, please snap into a Slim Jim!  Oooooh yeaaah! 

Sorry, am I the only one that thinks this guy sounds like “The Macho Preacher”?

Well, as the good book says, “render unto God that which is God’s, and unto Sir Mixalot that which has back.”

Proof that we’re still stuck in that bizarro alternate reality scripted by SNL writers.

I know this is off topic but the Obama 30 minute segment is a Home Run so far!!

Chris is absolutely right, which is a total bummer for Kathryn Jean Lopez.

Yeah, that’s really responsible—telling teenage girls not to eat.

Well, we can all hope that millions of Christianofascists starve to death.

Problem solved!

Kevin, your wife is a great American.

Chris—LOL!

WTF is up with those people? At first I thought it was a spoof, but those assholes are self-parodying.

Hopefully, the beautiful gay citizens of California will counter with 40 days and 40 nights of gourmet dining!

If marriage is so great why do 50% of them end in divorce?

Comment by Rebecca on 10/30/08 at 04:14 PM

Holy fuck…I mean holy fuck. That’s soooo over the top.

The Mormons have really screwed up as far as I’m concerned, having poured tens of millions into this campaign. This isn’t Utah or Idaho, and they’ve queered [heh, teh funny] their image in California of jess gettin’ along. Massive fail.
