Creationists Take Mother Goose Hostage
tags:
Stumble ThisFrom VideoHomeSystem: Let’s be honest, all manner of religious folk have made it their duty to co-opt nearly everything from mainstream pop culture and use it to get across their message. So much so that there are entire books dedicated to the topic. Some of the best and funniest examples of trying to reach an audience stem from their use of pop figures and iconography to try to influence children. Today’s video is from a tape called “Mother Goose Goes to the Zoo,” which sounds innocuous enough until you spend a little bit of time watching it. They use a trusted figure such as Mother Goose and re-workings of public domain songs to help indoctrinate kids with the values of creationism. Pretty smart. This clip features a bit of the intro which features Rodney, our effeminate host, who quickly pushes the creepy Mother Goose into the background to talk about God. We then move into a Christian version of Yankee Doodle Dandy. Try to enjoy without slicing your ears off.

It was on the good ship Venus
By Christ, ya shoulda seen us
The figurehead was a whore in bed
And the mast, a mammoth penis
The captain of this lugger
He was a dirty bugger
He wasn't fit to shovel shit
From one place to another
And so on and so forth.

What kind of inbred, homeschooled idiot doesn't think to themselves, gee maybe these animals lived somewhere and adapted to eating to local flora and fauna.
Which is more likely --
(1) God created a monstrosity that can only survive on bamboo and then placed them in one of the rare places that bamboo grows.
(2) Animals adapted to their local food sources, much like Americans eat burgers and Japanese eat sushi.
I smiled and slipped away politely, taking a loss in the educated zoo-goers column. A few minutes later, kid and dad sought me out, they couldn't sort out why God made skunks and they wanted to know if I knew what their job was.
I said they don't have a job. They're skunks. They eat grubs and defend themselves from predators. They looked at each other with very little to say. Education wins again.

actually smart-ass, God put the burger eaters in America and the sushi eaters in Japan. maybe you should be grateful He cared enough about you to have you born somewhere you'd like the food. Oh, and if you don't like the food, He is challenging you to better yourself!
