Christian TV Presenter Reads out Star Wars Plot as Story of Salvation

Posted by Raymond on February 13, 2010

From the Telegraph:

An email prankster tricked the host of a Christian TV show into reading out the plots of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Star Wars in the belief they were stories of personal salvation.

The unsuspecting host read out most of the opening rap to The Fresh Prince, a 1990s US sitcom starring Will Smith, apparently unaware that it was not a genuine testimony of faith.

The prankster had slightly adapted the lyrics but the references to a misspent youth playing basketball in West Philadelphia would have been instantly familiar to most viewers.

The lines read out by the DJ included: “One day a couple of guys who were up to no good starting making trouble in my living area. I ended up getting into a fight, which terrified my mother.”

The presenter on Genesis TV, a British Christian channel, eventually realised that he was being pranked and cut the story short – only to move on to another spoof email based on the plot of the Star Wars films.

    Well maybe IV-VI, but if he's using the prequels, fughedaoudit. The first two were an offense against Man and God. The third one was “feh.”

    why is this a surprise?Just like the climate change fanatics, these sad excuses for humanity will leap at any shred of so-called “evidence” to support their point of view. The problem isn't “sin”, or CO2, the problem is fanaticism. Brainwashed fanatics are dragging the whole world straight to hell, and apparently, if you even think about questioning their ideas, you are a “denier”. Subjected to ridicule, and soon, you'll be arrested, and “re-educated”.Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, folks, but the inmates have taken over the asylum, if not the whole world. So, smile and nod when they rant and rave, and when you get home, start gathering up guns and ammo, and eventually the sane people will tire of this stupidity and retake control of the planet.
