So I’m drinking beer late the other night. Staying up late, just
watching some TV. Then an advertisement comes of for some political
campaign.
I stare in disbelief. My mouth drops open, and I literally sit there
slack jawed in front of the TV. I cannot believe what I just
witnessed. An issue, being questioned by Moses, “somewhere in the
mountains of Colorado”, and God answers him and tells us what we
should vote.
I stop, and look down at my now shaking hand. The beer looks normal.
Have I finally drank the beer that breaks my liver’s back? Have I
died and gone to some kind of hell where people think that God and
Moses would sit around bullshitting about how you should vote?
And the topic? ABORTION! Oh, no wait. Apparently God and Moses have
bigger fish to fry.
SAME SEX MARRIAGE? Think again my friends. God and the ‘Mos have a
much more important message for you.
Check it out:
Yep, you guessed it, MINIMUM WAGE is what’s keeping Mos and God up
at night, wringing their hands in disbelief. Think it’s made up?
Well guess again, you nay-saying SOBs. Here is the fucking website,
with the video from the source of the ad campaign.
Moses
Rapping With The Lord
I ask you, what is your target audience here? Christians? I don’t
get it. I am by no means religious, but having been to Church
several times (I may have been drunk, but I WAS there), I find this
advertisement offensive. It’s like a slap in my intellectual face. I
fear a world where people can be swayed by this kind of bullshit.
So, I would like to enter my own ideas on how to follow up this
video. My buddy and I were sitting at lunch discussing this, and his
idea is that we should include all faiths in this campaign. If we
are making religiously offensive videos, why exclude people.
Buddhist: Buddha rolls his chub out on camera to explain to us in a
3 minute commercial that: “Every action we perform leaves an
imprint, or potential, on our very subtle mind, and each karmic
potential eventually gives rise to its own effect. Our mind is like
a field, and performing actions is like sowing seeds in that field.
Positive or virtuous actions sow the seeds of future happiness, and
negative or non-virtuous actions sow the seeds of future suffering.
And yo, Amendment 42 is the seed of suffering, so vote no. Or else
I’ll eat you.”
Muslims: Muhammad comes out calling out Jihad on Amendment 42, and SHWING!!!!! Chops the head off of the measure.
Hindu: The One Divine Supreme Truth – Paramatma comes out and
explains how Purushartha are the four kinds of human aspirations,
which are dharma, artha, kaama and moksha. Among these, dharma is
the foremost and is the gateway to moksha or immortality and eternal
bliss. Practice of proper Dharma gives an experience of peace, joy,
strength and tranquility within ones-self and life becomes
thoroughly disciplined. And we all know that that hot chick Dharma
from the TV show would vote no on this, and you should too!
Scientology: Tom Cruise comes out to and claims to offer "exact"
methods of spiritual counseling to help people achieve awareness of
their spiritual existence, while enhancing their effectiveness in
the physical world. According to the Church, the ultimate goal is to
get the soul (thetan) back to its native state of total freedom,
thus gaining control over matter, energy, space, time, thoughts,
form, and life. This freed state is called Operating Thetan, or OT
for short. And OT can not be achieved if the fucking minimum wage is
hiked every year. That would be even worse than psychology. And we
all know how bad that is!
Ok, bad idea. All I’m saying is that I don’t care if you are for
this measure, or against it. You SHOULD be against STUPID. Let’s
vote to put an end to the stupid.
Back to the Christians: You have Jesus, newly resurrected, standing
out side the cave. He looks into the camera, and says to you with
his divine wisdom: “Jesus H. Christ, don’t be so fucking stupid,
people!”
Now that is an ad I can jump on the band wagon for.
