"Mass: We Pray" - Horrifingly real or hilariously fake?

I have been searching for about fifteen minutes and I sincerely can not tell if this is a parody or if "Mass: We Pray" really will be coming to a video game store Christian Bookstore near you. Perhaps we'll find out on Friday, when the company will supposedly begin taking pre-orders.

If it's Christian satire, it's hilarious. If it's real, it's hilariously sad. Watch this, go to the website, and tell me what you think.

It wouldn't be the first time a Christian VG company released a ripoff version of another game. The company Digital Praise has made a living out of it. There's the "Dance Dance Revolution" imitation "Praise Dance" ("now available for the iPhone!") and Guitar Praise (coming soon for iPhone...I guess we'll have to wait for the Christian iPhone itself).

Oh, want to see great Christian satire? Go to Lark for what is essentially the Christian Onion. Go to the website for the fictional Landover Baptist Church. I pray no one thinks that church site is real and that is why I also pray the Mass game is not real.

Stay tuned...

Viral Video of the Week - Japanese We Are The World

My friend (who I've yet to meet in person) Lindsey from Louisville sent me this on Facebook. I find it odd, amazing, and pretty dang funny.

I have so many thoughts as I watch this.

1. I love how the audience seems like "Oh my gosh! They really sound like the original guy!"
   
   
2. The guy doing Bruce Springsteen gets extra point for looking just like Smokey Robinson. I guess he had to choose..."Hmm, I look like Smokey but I sound like The Boss!"
   
   
3. Japanese Ray Charles really makes me laugh. "We're saving our own wives."
   
   
4. I gotta say, the Cyndi Lauper is pretty good though.
   
   
5. Japanese Michael Jackson looks more like Japanese Howard Stern.
   
   

6. Where's Japanese Kim Carnes?

I don't know how this came about, but it's glorious...

Stephen Colbert's "joke" could become a reality

WASHINGTON — Earth to Space Station Colbert: The cosmic joke may be on NASA.

Comedian Stephen Colbert, who couldn't get his mock presidential campaign off the ground, is polling better by aiming higher. He's convinced his many fans to write in his name in NASA's online public vote to name a new room to be added to the international space station.

So instead of NASA's suggested choices — Serenity, Legacy, Earthrise or Venture — the space station's new addition may wind up with the name "Colbert."

The count by mid-Tuesday had votes for the comedian just shy of 115,000 and Serenity trailing at 98,641. More than 451,000 people have voted...

Strange Company

I find it odd and pleasing and oddly pleasing that I am on any list with Miley Cyrus. Check it.

"Now Hasbro has gone too far."

Nashville Is Manliest City

Nashville is "America's Manliest City" according to a study released today that was commissioned by Mars Snackfood US and its Combos snack food brand.

Cities were ranked on criteria such as the number of professional sports teams, popularity of tools and hardware, and frequency of monster truck rallies. That last part makes me laugh.

The ranking is part of the Combos launch of its Ultimate Man Zone Sweepstakes, which awards prize packages to upgrade men's tailgating, grilling, home theater or gaming "zones."

New York City finished last out of 50 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas. Cities lost ranking points for "emasculating" characteristics like the abundance of home furnishing stores, high minivan sales and subscription rates to beauty magazines.

Nashville grabbed the top spot in the ranking thanks to its high number of NASCAR enthusiasts, popularity of hunting and fishing, and concentration of barbecue restaurants.

The moral of the story is that I'm not very manly according to these criteria. I've never been to a monster truck rally, I'm not into NASCAR, I manscape, never been/will go hunting, I would love a minivan, wear skinny jeans, and I'm a stay at home dad.

WHY DOES BILLY MAYS FEEL THE NEED TO YELL IN HIS COMMERCIALS?

I picture him when he goes home after a long day of commercial shoots saying things like, "HI HONEY, HOW WAS YOUR DAY?" or "KIDS! DID YOU FINISH YOUR HOMEWORK?" or "I'M FEELIN' SUSHI TONIGHT!"

Anyway, I know it's not very Christian of me, but every time his commercials come on, I kinda want to punch him in the face.

P.S. There are some hilarious videos of him (some for fake products) on YouTube. Specifically the gangsta remix.

Atrocious

I'm almost tempted to buy this just so I can mess with people when they come over to the house for the first time. Oh, and cover it with plastic like my grandmother used to do.


Wanna buy it? It's on eBay here.

In bizarre company

Sometimes when I can't sleep I find myself google-ing my name. This, of course, is known as a vanity search.

And I always come up with the strangest crap.

The most gratifying is being listed on some random site like WKRN or finding out the blog you are looking at is somehow worth $5,313.11. Yeah, I don't get the whole Blogshares thing. If you can explain it to me, I'll love you more.

The worst is finding out that there is an Eric Coomer who is a skinhead. In fact he says he's an "alt.skinhead" which ticks me off all the more because I am exploring "alt.worship". I'm not going to link to his sorry butt because I don't want his rankings to go up in google...so find him for yourself.

Another Eric Coomer is a sadomasochistic sex dude who is into bondage and whips and chains.

And the most famous Eric Coomer besides me is the mountain climber dude.

So, if you ever read of me saying, "White Power!", or "Then I put her collar and leash on.", or you read of me getting "tipsy on Vicodan and gin"... you've got the wrong guy.
