I can't believe I haven't posted this yet. I seriously feel like a negligent parent.
Please, do enjoy:
P.S. I am not trying to make fun of Christians here!
Okay, maybe not Christians as a WHOLE, but definitely some, because I am guessing the members of this group are Christians.
I mean, if they weren't Christian, then what's with all the putting of the word "Christian" before things? I don't think it's to get paid, because I bet there are other groups who would pay more than Christians.
Again, that was not intended to denigrate Christians in any way. I am sure if you are a Christian and reading this, you are super rich. However .. side hugs? I AM making fun of those.
Oh geez. But, I am not making fun of people who can ONLY give side hugs. Shit. I bet there are people out there -- people with only one arm, maybe? -- who prefer giving side hugs. Well, I am talking about those specific "performers" who are encouraging people to only side hug because it is the only way for Christians to avoid sexy-time.
Great, now I have offended sex addicts? Right? Oh ... you weren't going there? Okay. Well, did you notice that they pretended to get SHOT at the end of the "song"? That's funny and not offensive, right?
Shit, the NRA ...
Let me start over: Dear readers, I love all of you, no matter what your religion, penchant for particular types of hugs, or love of being fake shot. I just think this video is pretty damn HI-larious.
Love and Side Hugs!
Veronica
EDIT: My AMAZING little sister is the person who clued me in on this fabulousness, so props to Victoria (Is that better, Vicki?)
Aren't we all buying babies like Angelina Jolie?
ReplyDeleteOh my...I am so showing this to Alan later.
Don't feel bad for laughing. I hate to admit this, but that viral video that went around years ago featuring a retarded dude working at Burger King still makes me laugh. "DING FRIES ARE DONE! DING FRIES ARE DONE! Would you like an apple pie with that, would you like an apple pie with that!" Sorry :( Don't hate.
ReplyDeleteOh - it was a holiday video I meant to say.
ReplyDeletemy favorite part was the buying babies like angelina jolie :) I'm not offended, I think it's hilarious. I don't know who that group is or why they did this, but if they ARE Christians it's the same kind of self-mockery that I see all the time with my friends :) I have DEFINITELY mock chastised people and reminded them to leave "room for the holy spirit"! Thanks for sharing, I'm saving this...it cracks me up.
ReplyDeletethey are christians. its a group of people involved with the youth group at a huge mega church in california.
ReplyDeletethey aren't self mocking...they wrote the song to remind the youth group of one of the church's rules: no front hugs or PDA.
this blows my mind every time I see it.
Jeremy sent me an email today that simply said "I'm a rough rider, filled up with Christ's love."
fantastic.
and thanks for the cred, SIS. I totally tipped you off on this shit.
Melissa -- I bet Alan will enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteAlly -- I didn't really feel bad for laughing. I was just trying to ACT like I was kindhearted. :)
Amanda -- Yeah, but unfortunately, they were serious. Serious like my mom when SHE told me to keep room for the Holy Spirit. She was never kidding about that. :)
Victoria -- I know. But it was funny the way I said it.
Yeah, before I left the house today I told him I had that song in my head. Then when he told me he sent you that e-mail, I was like, "Yeah, because I mentioned the song this morning." And he acted like I didn't.
Oops. I gave you credit in the original draft. I will make an addendum.
I should do way more hugging!
ReplyDeleteThat's just Awesome. The rough rider thing makes So much sense in the song about side hugs. So does Angelina Jolie buying babies. I must share this with everyone I know.
ReplyDeleteBTW I stopped over from Allie's blog in case you were wondering.
One time I asked Jesus for coupons. I was super worried that people were going to be like "OH MY GOD! She's taking the Lord's name in vain and she's totally treating Jesus like he's some Bed Bath and Beyond newspaper insert..." but nobody said that! Everyone supported my decision to ask Jesus for coupons.
ReplyDeleteI still worry every time I say the F-word though. Which is a lot.
In other news, side hugs? Wow. That's the first step on a slippery slope that can only end in body condoms. You heard it here first.
Naww....
ReplyDeleteJust naw.
wv: "goteroco": it means "nawww"
