The PETA Files

Erik August 11th, 2008

As we reported this weekend, the recent horrific cannibalistic attack on a Greyhound bus in Canada has prompted a newspaper ad response from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

What, you may ask, does the tragic beheading of an innocent 22-year-old man have to do with animal rights?

Here's a quote from the PETA press release regarding their ad:

While it isn't every day that a human is violently attacked and eaten by another human, it's worth noting that it is the norm f … (Read More)

Celebate

Matthew July 22nd, 2008

The good news: teens are having less pre-marital sex. The bad news: it's probably just because they're too busy taking stolen pain meds, illegally downloading music, and obsessively texting each other.

Or maybe they're having less sex because of a revolutionary new product called Celebate.

SBE Comedy Classics - Odd for God Ministries and Outfitters

Erik June 24th, 2008

There are deep cuts and then there's this nugget that we scraped up from the bottom of our comedy cache.

Alan Wilson from Northern Ireland contacted me via the SBE Facebook group, wanting to take a pratfall down memory lane with this classic* SBE bit about "cutting edge" ministry efforts.

Well, far be it from me to deny a faithful listener his request (or to take a wee bit o' pride in letting you know we have listeners in Northern Ireland). Here's to you, Alan! Use on … (Read More)

News from the Future - Extreme Makeover: New Orleans Edition

Erik May 19th, 2008

As I watched the season finale of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition last night, I was moved beyond words.

It wasn't because Ty and the team rebuilt homes and a church in Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Louisiana. It wasn't the stories of the heroes that emerged from the tragedy. It wasn't the coalition of homebuilders from all over the US-of-A that came together to make it all happen.

It was the fact that the Comedy Prophets have struck again!

This bit originally aired in Sept. 2005. … (Read More)

Lucky Lou's Gas 'n Go and Savings and Loan

Erik April 29th, 2008

Amid the daily barrage of depressing economic data, I was happy to find a bright spot in the news today. Oil companies are posting record profits!

Shell's first-quarter earnings increased 25% to a record $9.1 billion. BP reported a 63% increase in profits to a whopping $7.6 billion. Chevron and Exxon Mobil are expected to post huge increases in profits later this week. Good for them.

Sure we're taking it in the wallet to the tune of $4 per gallon at the pump, but now Lucky Lou� … (Read More)
