h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just when I thought that the American evangelical movement couldn't get more daft (and scary) when this little tidbit appears:

http://www.usareligiousnews.com/get-article.php?ID=2780

To summarise for those to lazy to follow the link:

Evangelicals are complaining about a U.S. advertising campaign for IKEA, which features an allegedly homosexual family theme in its commercial. The TV ad has caused a 'pro-family' spokesman to accuse the company of trying to force a liberal, homosexuality-affirming worldview on Americans.

Now I've seen the British version of this advert and yes there are two men sitting on a sofa smiling while a child plays on the carpet in front of them. They are not holding hands, hugging each other or rogering each other senseless. They are dressed in European clothes which seem quite straight to me. In other words they could be just about anybody - there is no gay sub-text.

People often accuse me of being a nutter about the threat I feel evangelical christianity poses to personal freedom. This week alone we have had a Florida Theatre forced to change the name of 'The Vagina Monologues' (Mods' and Aces please see footnote) to 'The Hoo-ha Monologues' because an evangelical's 10 year old daughter asked her what the v-word meant. 10 years old and doesn't know the correct medical term for her own genitalia...? Cringing is OK at this point.

There is also the case of the evangelical group who are claiming they have decoded the book of Revelations and discovered that deceased John Paul II will return from the grave as the Anti-Christ.

And now IKEA is accused of forcing gay propaganda upon the poor, innocent American family.

For those of you feeling pretty comfortable about this, as that's mad old America, and we live in the sensible old UK - don't. We are considered the prime target for American and Nigerian Evangelical missionary activity, and have been for quite some time.

What happens there today will be here tomorrow. Especially as the evangelical's British poster boy - Tony B.Liar - has now made it a crime to rail against the madness of organised abrahamic religion.

Be prepared,

Blessings,

Footnote for Mod's & Ace's.
Note that I have used the proper name of a play that has been performed and broadcast across the world. If the word 'Vagina' is on the list of newly banned words and my posting is pulled I will fight this, beginning with the Board of Trustees and the Secretary of State for Culture.

Spongebob Squarepants, the children's cartoon character, is allegedly gay because he holds hands with his friend Patrick the starfish. We've all apparently been waiting for Bert and Ernie off Sesame Street to come out of the closet for years... oh, and then of course there's Tinky-Winky of Teletubbies fame.

When will the homosexuals stop corrupting our children?

And what about those two old curmudgeons on the balcony in the Muppet show? Surely there's something suspicious about them?

Seek and you shall find...

There are some really creapy religious hate mongers in the US who have the nerve to call themselves 'Christians'. I remember the time a US baptist church spread flyers outside the Swedish consulate in Washington with the text:

'God is not mocked! God Hates fags! & Fag-Enablers! Ergo, God hates (name of person), (name of ambassador), Sweden and all things Swedish, being cursed with an irreversible curse.'

'God's curse is now on homo-fascist Sweden and all others who support the filthy sodomite agenda and who punish Gospel preachers for declaring God's truth about sodomites.'

And IKEA is a Swedish company - hmmm... I wonder if it might be the same baptists behind this attack?

Backing up to an earlier post....

I prefer the correct medical term to the present day Vee -Jay- jay substitute -coined by some older, coy or shy women maybe, i do not know it's origin. How utterly infantile! Oprah says it, is it because of TV censors?

Perhaps that rediculous phrase fits some parental rule books of evangelicals. Odd no matter the reason.

I love the AFA. Just when I begin to think that Americans must be getting smarter (after electing Obama) the law of averages kicks in and along come the great IQ leveller - the AFA.
