Uh…
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009Normally, I’m fairly OK with wacky people if they keep their wacky to themselves.
Westboro Baptist Church seems to have a hard time keeping its wacky to itself…
This video shows some WBC members singing “God hates the world” to the tune of “We are the world”.
So… as parody lyrics go, someone did a pretty good job… I mean the content is INSANE… but… from a mechanics standpoint, for the most part, the rhyme and meter fit the music, and the lyric stays on message without a bunch of needless words, or using words like “o’er”.
BUT… There’s the content. I mean… OK, they’ve yet to present anything convincing to support the existence of any gods, yet they are perfectly comfortable singing that god hates the world, *and*… it seems to make them happy. They’re clearly insane. In a way it’s funny. …and creepy. …and scary.
THEN… there’s the poor, unfortunate child at the end who “sings” the chorus for us one last time. I draw the line of tolerance there. That’s not funny. That’s fucked up. …and that’s what I hate about faith-based religion.
