...although I kind of wished I'd have seen the episode where this good Christian woman (?) was being tormented by the family that talked about (gasp) astrology, Buddhism, tarot cards and even had (shudder) gargoyles in their house.
Crooks and Liars has a truly scary video clip from the Fox show Trading Spouses - Meet Your New Mommy on their website of some sort of toothless, morbidly obese, psycho fundamentalist drama queen returning home after enduring the tortures of spending time with (in her opinion) a "non-Christian" family (who probably had all their teeth). She has a foaming at the mouth, screaming hissy fit and rips up her check for her participation in the show (for the camera), while her children cower in fear. Man, that's entertainment.
But, after the heathen camera people have left, she decides to keep the money and spend a big chunk of it on gastric bypass surgery. Hope she saved a little for dental work, and psychotherapy for her children.
Update - I just followed the link and read the synopses of the two episodes involving this nut case. The episode guides are hilarious, read #201 and 202. Apparently some of the Fox Broadcasting employees have a sense of humor.
Posted by Morticia at December 07, 2005 04:32 AM | TrackBackHi, I just came across your site and wanted to comment on this posting, where I live people would find what you wrote an outrage, so it was nice to see someone make the exact same commentary regarding that reality tv episode as I did. That was the one show I indeed wished I would have watched but I would not have even thought to watch it considering its reality tv!!!. Never ceases to amaze me the " Christian" approach to life, its completly backwards, sometimes!! that drives me insane what ever happened to their approach "judge not less ye be judged" I do believe they forget that often. Not all of them of course but it has seemingly enough proved true in most circumstances. Well, I shall cease commentary at this point. Glad I found your site!
Take care.
Yup, if a long-haired, anti-war, hippie, peacenik named Jesus reappeared on the earth today, he'd be arrested and sent to Guantanamo...
I saw a bit on the news about how a lot of Christians are bucking the Megachurch trend and starting to have little neighborhood prayer services in their homes instead. They'd better be careful, the Homeland Security people will be after them.
