ChristWire: Christian conservative version of The Onion....

[Revy]

A lot of offensive views expressed there, which is causing a lot of anger by commenters. Could be an example of Poe's law in effect.

Never wall up a drunk jester? Don't let ravens into your house late at night? Houses names Usher always fall?:laugh:

Poe's law: It's difficult for many to distinguish a parody of religious fundamentalism from the real deal.

OMG, that website is CRAZY! It's not the christian version of the Onion, it's the "Nationalist Lampoon's News Daily"!

Holy fuck that shit is disgusting and not even funny. I think South Park is right-wing preachy and annoying, but at least I can see how people find it funny - this is just racism posing as punchlines.

They even have to explain their worldview as part of the joke so that people know what they are talking about. For example: "The US decides to blow up the tallest building in Dubai". That's the "funny" punchline, but then they have to explain... "er, so it's like since all them arabs were so happy about 9/11 - well THAT'S WHAT I HEARD ANYWAY - so yeah, so like it would be funny if er... then it was like that but just the opposite... er..."

Atheists apparently have a joke about “Zombie Jesus”, where they make fun of our Lord and Savior. They make these cartoons comparing him to a walking, talking zombie, which is just plain offensive.Unlike "hilarious" jokes about slavery, LGBT people, and how non-whites are violent and stupid.:cursing::cursing::cursing:


Poe's law: It's difficult for many to distinguish a parody of religious fundamentalism from the real deal. Cheers. Where does that come from? Also thank you (and fuck you) for discovering the website I am going to obsess over all week!:lol:

Ok, "Zombie Christ" is offensive...

But not...


Mexican Zombie H1N1 Swine Virus Now Resistant To Tamiflu

Like most dirty things that plague humanity, the H1N1 virus took it origins in a small village in Mexico and is now spreading like wildfire through our civilized countries.I am now going to build myself my own lake of fire to throw these idiots into... If I ever run into any of these shits they are going to wish I had the mercy of god from the old testament.

:laugh::tongue_smilie:

This is a parody website, right? It's not funny, but I don't think it's real.

[Tyrlop]

im laughing going to check that site soon :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[The Ungovernable Farce]

I'm pretty sure it's parody.

I start to believe that a large part of the attractivity of right-wing beliefs is the easy way to find things which are unfunny funny.

[Angry Young Man]

The religious right have a satirical news network? How does that work, I mean for satire, first you need a sense of humour, second you need quite a grim sense of humour

[Robocommie]

Comedy is inherently left wing. Almost all the best comedians in the world have been liberal at least, and sometimes left wing radicals.

It's like how there's no sex appeal in being Republican, because there's no fucking soul in being down with the establishment.

[Revy]

For the record, I wasn't implying that it was as funny as The Onion, or funny at all. that's really the main comparison I could think of to what they are trying to be.
