BUZZFLASH REVIEWS

When you have the likes of Ted Haggard and legions of repressed and depraved religious fanatics, it's a challenge to satirize them, because they are living satires of themselves.

But the fine humorists over at LandOverBaptist.org manage to outdo the residents of JesusLand with a scathing scalpel of wit that cuts right through to the inner absurdities of fundamentalists.

How about sending your child to Vacation Bible Gun Camp? A Christian credit card that expires at rapture? Or a "Homosexual Reparative Ward Now Offering Lisping Surgery"?

Oh and don't forget "Bringing Integrity to Christian Homemakers: This Week's Workshop is 'Recovering all your loaned-out Tupperware from the Unsaved Before the Rapture."

Now, that's a practical tip that any BuzzFlash reader can find useful, right?

Heck, this is more than 200 pages of Holiday fun.

If you like the type of humor found in the Onion, there can be no better book to put under the "Holiday" Tree.

Because everyone needs a guide to "Jesusland," formerly known as the United States of America.

"This satirical collection of essays, images, articles, et al is poking fun at some people and institutions whose extreme manifestations have been diving offensively off the deep end themselves in the minds of many. Poking fun is probably the wrong term, though. This collection actually whacks them over the head, punches them in the solar plexus, then gives them a wedgy while they're still breathless. Cackling and snickering all the while. It's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. You open a page at random, let your jaw drop because you just can't believe they're going there, then take a break to recover before trying something else. Highly recommended, as I already have to a bunch of friends. Remember that the target is the extremes and absurdities of behavior, not the idea of being religious itself, and take your sense of humor out for a romp."
