>>> Hoooooo.
You'd think that a major religion like Christian Science, that can publish a professional daily newspaper, could do better. <<<
Couldn't they get Val Kilmer to do this? The guy on there is completely out of it.

Host: Back to you, Chip [the Black Boy!]

Puppeteer as "Otto Kaiser": (awkwardly and quietly) Uh . . . Kaiser . . .
I think watching this and The Spirit of Truth ("Are ya laughin', BIATCH!?") has permanently damaged my brain.
Isn't this some kind of joke? I mean, if it's serious, what is it supposed to be for or against? What exactly is "worst use of blue screening ever?"
It was loading very slowly on my computer, so I turned it off. I skimmed through it a bit, so I probably watched about a minute, even though I reached the 3-minute marker. If it loaded faster, I'd have skimmed through the whole thing, but I can't watch something like this for more than a few minutes.
Religious programming is dry. Religious programming on public access is dryer. I do shows for two religious groups on Cape Cod, and they couldn't be more different -- one is the work of a rather dotty ex-hippie, and focuses heavily on social services. She's kind of tough to take at times, but I really respect the work she does because she makes it about what Jesus taught about social welfare rather than Paul's morality and church minutiae.
The other is a preacher who shows up and does two half-hour sermons every session. I have to direct this guy, and you have no idea how many times I've sat in the director's chair trying to will him to move his hands more, play to the camera, whatever, in the hope that he'll make his sermon more visually interesting. He used to have a full crew, but it was recently mentioned to me that it was interesting that his crew is essentially down to an agnostic, an atheist, and a lukewarm Catholic. I actually feel bad for the guy because nobody wants to pray with him before the show.
Last year, for communications technology class in my school we had a bunch of equipment made in the early 80's to make video morning announcements. We had a disturbingly simple switchboard, two cameras that tended to die at least once a day and required a great deal of voodoo to resurrect, and monitors which ignored half the signal sent to them.
Whenever a new class got their hands on the equipment, people would undoubtedly screw with the chroma key option as well as with the simple transitions, without any basic knowledge on how do so.
The point of this relatively nostalgic reminiscence is that despite the complete lack of training we've had, we still managed to make better shit than this... "tv show". 'Tis quite sad, to be honest.
HOLY FUCK I FEEL SICK OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD AAAAAARGGHHHHH AUUUUGHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I died, nine thoousand and one times, simultaneously.
All because of that video.
What the fuck IS IT!?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
