This month’s header has a retro feel but actually I took the shot last weekend at Lake Tahoe.
Speaking of retro, Prodigal Jon thinks through the 5 stages of emailing an unintentionally funny video like this one below on the Stuff Christians Like blog. HT: Bob Carlton.
The band in question is called “Sonseed”. They are a HUGE hit on YouTube with 4.5 stars and over 2300 comments. You can read the legend of the Sonseed video from Dougsploitation. Lyrics are here in case you want to sing along. Its going to be a close race for the most addictive Christian video in 2008 on YouTube between this one and the Baptist preacher on “He That Pisseth Against the Wall”.
UPDATE:
– One website reckons Sonseed is fake but Dougsploitation interviews the original members of Sonseed and it appears they are legit.
– David Crowder covered the song at his church
– Another church last month played the video alongside “A Thief in the Night”.
– Download album from Cabel.
Lovin’ it? Me too. Now check out these music records I scored recently from a charity shop in Scotland. These are Irish records from 1973 and 1971.
Sonseed’s a fake. A very good one, but… a spoof.

Wait… I take it back.

But that means that there really was some Christian TV Show with a segment called “Punch and Judaism”??? Argh.
here is a remix that killed me.

…fake? Surely it can’t be real???
nice photo. thats me at the IMB headquarters in Virginia, trying to hack into their big computer.
OMG– so you gave me every reason to NOT listen ………. but i had to ……….. __________ this was part of the reason that i spent limited amounts of time dealing with the cheeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzy!
Now have you seen the Farting Preacher… just google it…….
sad thing to say, is that the guy is for real- (like takes himself way to freakin seriously..)- but who ever put in the farts… had a humor “anointing” that might want to be blessed!
xo cat
The Farting Preacher is the Rev. Robert Tilton, who was exposed by ABC Prime Time (with help from Trinity Foundation’s (publisher of the Wittenburg Door) team of licensed detectives who provided the research.
“Somehow” managed to resurrect himself but the Door folks had enough footage let over to let it rip and release this video

Said video has made the viral rounds to the point that they seldom get credit as the first farters. (Andrew this is yet another reason why the temporary (I hope) demise of the rag sucks.)
The Door doesn’t sell the video though it’s origin is cited here (http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Joe-Bob-Briggs).
The fact that I know about this Christian crapola is more than a bit troubling.
Yeah i know how Tilton was exposed… but the fact it was running as long as it did is MORE than disturbing. – but like i said… i laughed hysterically at where some guy put in those farts. I’m just amazed at how many people actually funded that type of manipulation…. charismatic witchcraft to the hilt… or “tilt” as the case maybe…. eesh!
blessings,

ok – thanks for the farting preacher link. i hadnt seen it before.
this blog is really becoming quite the ministry resource link, isnt it?
Cathryn – Tilton, Hinn & Co. stay in business because they have perfected the art of manipulating the weak and vulnerable – I remember one very, very low financial point in my life years ago when I called a number I saw flashing on the screen because the ad for me to increase my money looked so enticing (and some has been celebrity was endorsing it) – I came to my senses before I plunked down my change but that call cost me about $20.00 as it was a 900 number (at the time I didn’t know 900 numbers weren’t toll free). As the US economy tanks, I expect these sleazoids to multiply and hence, we all need to be vigilant towards those in our community who are especially lonely and destitute as they are the prime targets for these scam artists.
Andrew – I am not sure I’d call the farting preaching a “ministry resource.”
if you are a youth pastor, then the farting preacher is certainly a ministry resource.
listening to the sonseed album had me smiling with glee — (yes I said glee :-)) — several of the songs were covers of older songs that I listened to growing up…. including this Mylon Lefevre and the Broken Hearts version of Gospel Ship. (starts about 1:45 min into the video)

Oh man. Now I want to bust out some old school Petra and Whiteheart too!
Andrew – well in that case, I’d love to see how Jonny will turn this video into a worship trick.

I’ll definitely have to vote fake the production and sound is just too modern. Let alone the lyrics moving just a little to close to Faith + 1 territory.
