"For $7.50, this drink better s**k and f**k me!"

I have a question; What do you think is going on in this picture here?


The problem with the answer is, besides the fact that I don't know it, the book that it comes from doesn't explain it either. It's from something called a tract, this one entitled No Fear and it's published by Chick Publications, a company working with Protestant fundamentalists. And, if you take it with a grain of salt, it's got to be about one the funniest pamphlets on suicide that I've ever read.

But, not the funniest thing I've ever read... not by a long shot.

That's because they've made other ones, on other topics, ranging from homosexuality to Halloween to the Catholic church or "Great Whore" as they like to call it. Each one I come across, with the plot holes, historical inaccuracies, and outright lies, proves to be more entertaining than the last and now, thanks to the magic of the Internet and chick.com (Who clearly aren't in on the joke) I can now provide you with links to not only some of my favorites ones, but every one they've ever made.


Happy Hour: Drinking, heart conditions, and why you should always send a dying woman's young daughter into seedy bars to find her daddy, especially when the dying woman is dying.

Are Roman Catholics Christians?
: A lesson on the Catholic Church and how it's Anti-American, related to those evil ancient Egyptians and teaches us that, in one sentence, we don't know how long purgatory lasts, and in the next, learn that Popes have been there for centuries.

Boo!: "@!!!**! I forgot my chainsaw!" Makes a lot less sense when it's Satan talking, and he's wearing a Jack-o-Lantern on his head, and has a pet snake on a leash. Yeah. It's about Halloween.

Hard Times (Adapted for Black Audiences): I guess that means racist cartoons and very little reading. Also see: The True Path (Adapted Especially for Native American Readers)

Baby Talk: Starts with redneck wife beating and ends in an argument about abortion, probably wrote itself.

One day these things will be collector items, so, make sure to keep your eyes open anytime you visit a store that a Protestant fundamentalist would shop at. (Actually, that probably narrows it down to just Wal*Mart.)
