And This Is Why You Shouldn’t Be a Creationist

You owe me a cookie.

Oh, man, that was twisted!  

PS. Speaking of childhood obesity, you also owe me a cookie, kthx

The name of the album is “Cowboys and Bananas.” Where is the obligatory Brokeback Mountain reference?

And, haven’t these people seen Footloose? Dancing is from the devil!

Somebody paid money to produce that. And notice how it’s only obliquely about “God” or “creation” — the typical fundie subterfuge of putting the emphasis on something more or less unobjectionable (in this case dancing) while inserting the objectionable (to most of us, anyway) stuff every few lines or so.

But whatever, this won’t convert anyone and, with a bit of exposure, could turn off some fence-sitters. I say come on, then, let’s dance.

Was that Ron Paul’s tenor?

Well I made it all the way so I want a cookie but yes, I enjoyed watching the young ladies bounce around and I’ll take the short one off your hands.

Cookie!!

Chocolate chip, please. Make that two.

Hemant, I’ll bake you a dozen of whatever cookies you want if you never post anything like that ever again. Yikes. 

I paused “Burning Down the House” on Pandora for this?  Fuck the cookie, I WANT MY TWO MINUTES!

That’s going to be in my head later and I’ll say, “what the…?” … anyway, it appears I deserve a cookie.
I’m partial to peanut butter — you know, where you use a fork to make the design on the top…

As a preschool teacher I can say that this is no different than anyother song for children without religious add-ins.

It’s like they’re trying to be a Christian version of The Fresh Beat Band.

Oh, Flizbins.

Maybe that’s what you get when you cross a fundie with a Tribble.

They have to be atheists. Any christian that watches that has to deconvert afterwards.

1.  Why is it that the women must be the red shirts?

2. Even the Wiggles had some diversity… why is this so incredibly white?

3. Thank you for adding to the stereotype that white people can’t dance.

4. The guy in the blue shirt bought his hat at the Cracker Barrel.  That alone makes him suspect.

 Hell, I deserve a box of cookies.

can someone say torture at Guantanamo bay? 

1 min 43 seconds.  After that, my ears started oozing sludge.

Chicago Street Studios?  Yes, I would like to see them perform that on Chicago’s streets

Oh, man. What has been imagined CAN’T be un-imagined.

On mescaline, I’m sure this would seem oh-so-right…

Is it wrong that all I can think of us who in the group is sleeping with whom? My guess: the guys are sleeping together, the blonde is sleeping with the studio drummer, and the brunette is sleeping with the producer. You might think I’m unfairly stereotyping blondes. I’m not; I’m unfairly stereotyping drummers.

I deserve a cookie. But upon finishing that video, I realize that all I really want is the sweet release of death.

Because women are always expendable.  Unless the guy’s name is Darrin.

Wow. That’s… yes. That’s definitely worse. If I followed the (poorly sung)  lyrics correctly, Captain Hook is actually on the side of the gospel in that? This confuses me. I do have to wonder if the makers of this have read the original Peter Pan. In the book, Hook at one point kills a pirate because he happened to stumble against him. Yeah, a real nice dude. 

The tall guy in the hat is apparently using some kind of gay hanky code. Look at his back pocket when he turns around.

My 13 year old son dances like that.  He hasn’t got comfortable with his height or those gangly limbs yet.  I thought he’d grow out of it but now I’m not sure he needs to.

I wanna cookie….and something to remove the memory of that song.

Evidently you haven’t come across They Might Be Giants’ album “here comes science”…

It was so weird how when they split into pairs, the women could only dance with each other and the guys could only dance with each other.  Either they were all together in the box or they were in same-sex couples. What’s up with that?

Hemant, you owe me a cookie, 2:10 of my life back and something to scrub the stupid off of me. Time to turn on Pandora and get that awful noise outta my head.

For anyone that might not know, there is a gay subculture of wearing bandanas in your back pants pockets or tied to a belt loop to signify any fetish you’re into.The cowboy looking guy in the video is wearing a white hanky which is significant of safe sex (either through condoms, mutual masturbation or just self masturbation). AKA: Vanilla Sex.  Wearing it in the right pocket signifies he’s the bottom, not the top which would be the left pocket.So…… take what you want about the man in the video.  I find it kind of funny.

“And you thought Christians were incapable of being cool.”  And I see nothing here to change my mine.

Couldn’t do it, stuck it out until the rap part. That’s the best I can do.

Thanks Hemant, I just barfed all over my computer.

How dare you, sir, categorize this as “Fine Art”.  Have you no decency?

Well you learn something new every day.

I’ll be waiting for my cookie in the mail. It better be big and have chocolate in it, Hemant ¬¬

gahhh

Whitest… thing… ever.   

I’m happy to say that as a straight man, I know more (albeit not much) about gay bandana protocol than I do about gang bandana (or anything) protocol!

I didn’t really want a cookie that badly. I’ll take not having a headache instead.

I sat here, dumbstruck by the mindless horror of it all, until they started ‘rapping’ and then I started laughing so hard I couldn’t breath.

As a parent, the “ouch” factor wasn’t that much greater than with other children’s shows I’ve seen/heard of. That is why I play national geographic movies, and sesame street for my child. Later it will be Mythbusters and Bill Nye. If anyone introduces my son to The Wiggles while he is still young enough to like them, I will force them to watch said wiggles with him and thus die a slow and painful death.

Now where’s my cookie? 🙂

Apparently the guy playing Captain Hook lost an arm and a leg in a motorcycle accident, and found Jesus. So it makes sense that he’d want to turn his disability into an asset, by playing a pirate.

I can’t decide if this is a poe or not, but I thought it was important to point out a couple of things. You pose the rhetorical question, “Why else would they behave that way over him?” as a proof for the existence of god. That doesn’t follow, though. It doesn’t prove that god exists that people are willing to make fools of themselves. It may be proof that they believe that god exists, but not proof that he exists. Plenty of people get excited over alien visitors, Big Foot, and the Loch Ness Monster, but their excitement doesn’t do anything to prove the existence of these things. There was a time when people got excited for the gods of the mythologies of the Greeks, the Romans, Egyptians, Norse, you name it, but that didn’t prove the existence of these beings.

It cant even be used to prove a person’s believe, however. Dan Barker and myself can also both tell you that those who are excited
about god aren’t always being truthful. Some of us stop believing while
we’re in the ministry and it isn’t always possible to remove ourselves
from the situation immediately. We don’t stop the show, though.

It is really easy to fake that enthusiasm. People do it on kids shows all the time. I promise you that the hosts of such shows aren’t all always as bubbly and happy as they appear on screen. Pop stars aren’t always hyped up, either. Worship leaders don’t always “feel” the spirit, but they won’t let that show. I know, I have worked in the church as a music minister and there were plenty of Sunday mornings when I wasn’t feeling excited about god.

I can definitely understand why some of you think the guys are gay,  but they can’t possibly be or they’d know how to dance better  😀
