If you haven’t seen the will.i.am Obama videos, this won’t make sense to you. You can click here to take a quick look at this special blend of hip-hop cool and earnest hagiography. If you’re really a glutton for punishment, check out the sophomore effort. In any case, I’m glad to say that someone has taken up the gauntlet and cruelly mocked these ridiculous clips. From Attack of the Show: [...]
This is very well done: I can think of a few more clips they could add as examples.
Michelle has a nice roundup of Photoshop reactions to the Times. [Welcome Michelle Malkin readers. While you're here, you might also enjoy my Kos-based song parody: Townhouse.]
For Mother’s Day, the family decided to do a movie and then lunch. The movie that won the vote was Disney’s OCEANS. And I just gotta say that it was really, REALLY good…bordering on awesome! If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. Think PLANET EARTH…but on a ginormous television. I went in with a bit of trepidation, expecting some heavy-handed narration that would go WAY HEAVY on global [...]
Here’s that HCAN strategy memo brought to life at a Miami Tampa Town Hall with Rep. Kathy Cantor: Just like the HCAN memo said, they had their people toward the front and outnumbered the protesters. Note the guy in the “Union Tough” shirt in the front row. And just like the memo said, they decided who to let in and who to shut out of the “public” meeting. Even when [...]
For some reason I just haven’t gotten tired of this joke (sorry if you have): This one’s clever too: This just in…The DNC and Media Matters announce simultaneously that Kanye hates America.John on May 3, 2007 at 2:35 pm
I saw these over at Think Christian. They’re the newest parody clips based on the Mac vs. PC commercials. I thought the first several that came out last year were somewhat amusing, but they’re really starting to hit their stride now:
This one’s pretty good too:

May 8, 2007 @ 9:22 amIf by “hitting their stride” you mean that they’re becoming as adept as Ken/Ingrid/etc at broad-brush-painting and gross over-exaggeration, then yeah, they’re hitting their stride.
These videos are the other side of the same “draw a line in the sand and reject your brother because he’s different” coin as CRN/Slice.

I see you point, but humor covers a multitude of sins. That’s something Ken, Ingrid et. al. are distinctly lacking.
And seriously, doesn’t Ken sound a little like that guy?
May 8, 2007 @ 3:34 pmNo, Ken sounds a lot like that guy. ;-)
I just don’t find these videos to be any more humorous than I find what Apprising does to be ministry.

I am 30 years old and having attended a contemporary church, I understand where the actor in the suit is coming from. Videos like this create a style vs. substance debate that is very dangerous. Christians have made cool contemporary music, skateboard videos, casual dress, coffee places and new buildings the brand, while at the same time not emphasizing and teaching our beliefs that do separate us from the rest of the world. In other words, a lot of fluff.
Then what happens is that people confront these new hip and trendy Christians with debate and we can’t fight back. Those that declare themselves “spiritual” agnostic, atheist, and unaffiliated are at an all time high in this country. Moreover, instead of issues that matter, we are now taking up issues like environmentalism and socialism and merging Christianity with those.
Be very careful in how you package the faith, because it attracts new believers, but does them no good in helping them grow.
