Jack Chick Tracts...

[Wildewolfe]

Having been forced to hand em out when I was a kid as part of the family "witnessing" crap, I always pretty much hated these things. If you don't know what they are just look em up.

But... today I found something that just had me rolling on the floor. A good parody is priceless. (I did some searches and didn't find reference to it, and I've never seen it linked here before... ). Hope y'all enjoy it.

1. Jack has this habit of sueing peopel who create parodies of his BS

Ususally when they use the same art that he does.

I wonder if he's tried here.

[Wildewolfe]

5. He did sue them...

... the original was done using his art work...

I guess they redid it using original drawings in his style. Still priceless...

2. So this is a nice summary (somewhat) of the cthulhu mythos...

They should do this for literature. We could have Chick Tracts of Shakespeare's plays, War and Peace, Calculus textbooks...
I smell some serious money here!

3. Geez, warn us next time... I nearly lost my chocolate milk on my keyboard!

I used to hand out these as a jr. high schooler in Asheville, NC. Boy, we thought we were "saving" the town or something. People were polite but only because we were kids.

4. Link doesn't work?

Too bad, I'd like to see it.

ETA: I think it's because we're all clicking it at the same time.

9. My favorite Chick tract: Dark Dungeons!

From the horse's mouth: http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp

OK, I'm giving away my gamer geek background. I'll just say that in 20 years of playing role-playing games, nobody's taught me how to cast real spells.

I want to learn Mind Bondage!

12. Come to DU's gamer group

We'd love to have you there.

[LittleClarkie]

16. We have a gamer group?

What did you people do, cast invisibility on yourselves?

[YOY]

17. Um...not really

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=248

"Gaming group" if you want to knitpick. Mostly video games but there is a bit of traditional PnP talk on occasion.

[LittleClarkie]

18. Ah,

I just failed my awareness check then, is all.

[LittleClarkie]

15. I could use a good fireball on occasion

or even a nice little Shocking Grasp

Who you callin' geek!

[Snarkturian Clone]

10. Whenever I want a good laugh I go to chick.com NT

[intaglio]

13. What a lovely piece of art

Shame Chick has never heard of archiving, heh heh heh

[LittleClarkie]

14. I thought that Jack was pretty much a self-parody

Goofy damn things.
