Satan Is Dead!
This has to be the best commercial for a church of all time. I only wish I lived in this town and could have made it to Satan's funeral:
The YouTube description says this isn't a parody and aired on WXTV in Greenville, Mississippi, and I'm just going to believe it because I really want it to be real. I think this is hilarious and fun and adorable and tongue-in-cheek, so I'm not going to say anything about separation of church and state concerns if that's the real Mayor and real Sheriff, which I assume it is. I'm pretty sure every resident of Greenville can appreciate that hilarious chalk outline.

Judging by the chalk outline, the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the residents of Greenville, MS that the Easter Bunny was Satan.

So Satan turned out to be a Keith Haring cartoon with horns. Silly me I always thought he'd be a little more frightening. And Jesus and his crew are doing drive bys now? Hmm time to re evaluate which set I rep.

In the book of Revelation, the Lord's servant Joel learns from an angel, sent by God, that the Devil's only weakness is industrial rubber tubing. I'm assuming they used it as some sort of rudimentary lure.
Score = 8

Lindsay,
It's posts like this that make up for your love of mediocre sit-coms like HIMYM. Kudos!

Maybe if the devil hadn't been so overweight, he could have held his own.
Score = 3
I blame Tyler Perry.
Also, the "Jesus' Lynch Mob" portion of the piece disturbs me for various reasons, chief of which being the old African-American ladies holding the hangin' rope. *Shudders*
Score = 3
I hope God makes Hell into a Planet Hollywood or something, because my atheism is running its course, and I really want to see the matching suits from Twins.
