What's starting to get really hilarious is that every article ends up with a handful of posters treating it as legitimate news and issuing opinions on the pros and cons.

Apparently some posters have actually taken offense with me over this article (believe it or not!). The TOPICS line above post #1 clearly indicates this is a humor thread. Anyone can follow the link to the original article, and see that the source is a humor website. Why people take offense, especially when the posted articles don't discuss their particular theological system (are there any Amish FReepers reading this thread? I didn't think so), I don't get. Several years ago, a couple of posters actively tried to have me banned for one of these humor threads, which focused on a topic that later proved quite prescient. I don't think that the letters F, U, and N can only be used to spell the word FUNERAL, but I guess I'm in the minority with that sentiment.

Has anyone noticed that article isn't even poking fun at Christians, or even the Amish? What is there to be offended at? It's poking fun at marketers who fail to understand their target market (think Democrats trying to woo the Christian vote).
