Last night after Purg I sat down to watch my tape of South Park. They did a great job of playing with the Mormons, dumb de dumb dumb dumb. I was close to singing along with their criticism, when they had the boy at the end point out that however stupid and full of lies the religion was, that it seemed to make him and his family happy and if you didn't like it well then you can just 'suck my balls.'

I was trapped in my usual judgmental corner by a fucking cartoon. Good morning, I am José, Ball-sucker. Try and look surprised.

Yes, I am so busy and my life is so empty that I am posting about my reaction to a television show.

Shallow or not--you have to admit the harmonious dumbs were hilarious.

Were you thinking the super happy family had to be Mormon too? Before they admitted it?

I learned to hate mormons when I worked my first retail job, which was taken over by a mormon manager. The:
-42 year old virgin male
-fact they only hired from the church once given that authority
-fact they were forbidden to socialize with non-mormons except while in -the process of converting
-...and frankly the fact that they were running such an aggressive campaign here locally to punish whoever kept painting "Look Dorothy, it's Oz!" on the bridge overpass before the Mormon Temple

led me to my current dislike. I noted that they held back the usual criticisms of mormonism, such as the fact that black majic and a white salamander supposedly led the founder to the tablets (refuted later), or the attacks on multiple wives (practice no longer accepted).

Argh! Bad tangent...yes, I suspected when I saw the family and they were all blonde.

I love any religion that gets to explain that whites are just play superior! Native white americans, wow that's funny.

James and I stopped at Temple Square in SLC on our way from Cali to Ann Arbor.

I almost made it through without having to bolt in terror, but then there were these large, horrible, vapid family celebrating murals inside the visitors center. And I had to run away, get beer, and keep driving, far away.

I'd like to apologize to any mormons who might be reading this, but I can't find anyway to excuse myself.

I think by this point any Mormons in the audience are already completely alientated. :)

This episode--which I found hilarious--prompted a fascinating (and also hilarious) rant from my roommate about why Mormonism doesn't make sense and Catholicism does. "Any religion invented after America became a country is just crap." Hee!
