I am assuming you looked at the site carefully. It is a spoof site, they advertise jesus thongs.

It is a hoot, actually.

thanks for the reminder.  LBC is always good for a laugh, like the Onion.  Haven't looks in a while.

I suppose the one reason why I can deal with parodies like the Landover Baptist Church and Betty Bowers is that they're so obviously parodies to me.  They don't qualify as Poe, or at least not from where I sit.

I HATE Poe ... because (ideally) it can't be told from the real thing without that stipulated "wink-and-a-nod" ... and I don't see my mind likely changed about that.

Loren, I'm with you.  Parody is a commentary on human failings, bad decision, self delusion, etc.  Poe is a mean childish backhanded joke played on people who are susceptible only because they are not "insiders" on the Poe player.  

Sometimes Parody may be mistaken for reality.  We are only human.  But Parody is not meant to fool.  It's meant to play and comment.   Poe is meant to fool, and is a mean joke.

One of my favorite Landover message is whether Jesus watches children make poopy.

Pat, I even took "Bible Poop" quiz. Unsaved heathen was the result of the quiz. Oh, shit, no.

Comment by Pat on November 11, 2012 at 12:55pm

I took it too. Only got 7 out of 10 - Aw, shit!

I got 6/10 only by guessing at what I thought was the most outrageous answers, not at what I knew.  Except the poop bread.  That one I heard before.  

It is creepy that Jesus watches little kids poop.  Or that he watches anyone poop.  

On the other hand, an Indiana pastor was arrested for doing just that.   Maybe he was just trying to be god-like?  Plus, I lived a few too many years in Lafayette.  There isn't a lot to do there.  Everyone needs a hobby.

Don't be creeped out by J.C. watching, he is simply watching his dad's handiwork. Los Tres Amigos are such fun loving guys.
