Are you tired of seeing stories about some rube in Missouri who got nineteen thousand dollars for a cheese sandwich with Mother Mary's face on it? Of a yahoo in Minnesota finding a valuable Cheeto that looks like Jesus walking on water that he hawked for big bucks on Ebay? Some McJob kid who finds Moses on a potato in the fry basket and sells it for enough to get himself a used car?
My friends, do you think this is just good fortune, like WINNING THE LOTTERY?! No, these things didn't just happen by accident ...!

ReplyDeleteI know everything slowed down, but I didn't know the writing business was this slow.

Okay now that I endorsed your product so the rubes think it works what is my cut?
Remember what L. Ron Hubbard said -- writing is a mug's game -- the real money is in religion ...
ReplyDeleteIt probably says something about me that the only one of these I was ever tempted by was "crackwhores.com" -- I'm sure that url is taken these days, but way back when the web was new me and a buddy used to talk about the ads we'd write for that business, mostly along the lines of "And you get all this for $19.95! But wait, there's more!" ....
ReplyDeleteAdvertising is the true American art form.
What's killing me is that we have no idea what these historical/religious figures actually looked like...All you're buying into is what DaVinci or Michelangelo rendered them as.
ReplyDelete"How do you know it's Jesus?"
"Because it looks just like his picture!"
You may be preaching on Mencken in this post, but it's closer to P.T. Barnum's Dictum.
Bobbe - odds are Jesus looked a lot more like Moishe Rabinowitz or Ahmed Elbaz than the straight-nosed pale-skinned Aryan Jesus everyone sees in paintings and grilled cheese sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteMencken and Barnum were intellectual brothers, insofar as how they viewed the American public.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of smart folks out there in flyover country, but there are also a whooole lot of 'em for whom pouring piss out of a boot would blow out all their shop's wiring faster than a lightning bolt does a ten-amp fuse.
That people believe Jesus was a blue-eyed, blond-haired surfer dude just like the picture on the wall of the Methodist Sunday school wall boggles the mind; that they can see a likeness on a french fry induces amazement beyond one's ability to form words. You just can't get any traction: "Look, it's Jesus on my cheeseburger!"
Uh. Uh. Uh ...
$19.95, and it includes a 4 MP digital camera? Actually, that sounds like a deal no matter how you wrap it!
ReplyDeleteIN Clearwater, FL a picture, kind of in outline, appeared on a bank's window of Mary holding the Baby Jesus. It was at SR 60 and Highway 19. Soon, the faithful had erected a cross on the grounds. Then seating was arranged. Sermons were preached. Clearwater PD had off-duty details out the wazoo for traffic control as Christmas approached. Then some smart ass found and old DOT picture of the intersection that was taken as they renovated the road. In the background is the building with a picture painted on the window of, you guessed it, Mary holding the baby Jesus. Apparently, the artist had used some sort of oil-based paint that never really washed off. Then, as the sprinklers activated over the years, the solutes in the extremely hard ground water glommed onto the residual oil from the paint and created an iridescent outline of the former picture. Did it stop the sheep from flocking to the "holy" site. Nahh, this sort of thing is never influenced by logic and reason.
