Most Disturbing Promo Item Ever

Posted July 24, 2007 at 11:39 am by T.J. Tranchell, Moscow Bureau Chief

This was the first thing I saw on my desk after returning from a weekend reunion with my mostly Mormon family. This robe-clad lamb came courtesy of the new Gospel Music Channel. According to the ear tag, it's "The only 24-hour, all gospel music television network. Soul, Country, Rock, Pop, Traditional— It's all gospel."

What? No hip-hop?

The best thing about the lamb, other than it's cold, brainwashed stare, is that it sings and dances. I didn't get to witness the singing and dancing because by the time it ended up on my desk the batteries were dead.

Thank God!

Christian Rock or Not

Posted July 11, 2007 at 12:34 pm by Huan Hsu

See if you can pick the Christian rock song.

1. "Staring at the flames as they dance in red
On the corpse of the land
And there in their midst
are wandering a countless unnamed
Walking hand in hand

Blind leading blind aimlessly into the
quicksand’s of time where they sink
On the brink of eternity cold and alone I shrink
At the festering obscene corruption
And my silence in the face of this mass destruction."

2. Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand

The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homelands

(Answer after the jump)
