Imagine if Ben Garrison actually gave a shit. These people used to be genuinely talented at making themselves look stupid.

    What if the sign for FREE BIRTH CONTROL means "free" as in "freedom" and not "free" as in "beer?" Is there a GNU/Birth Control (or as I like to call it, GNU plus Birth Control) project out there for free, open source ortho tri-cyclen?

    I used to work at a grocery store in Nowheresville, The South and got handed at least one chick tract daily. I used to have a huge stack of them. My favorite was always the Dungeons & Dragons one, but I also got a lot of laughs out of the one that explained Islam wrong (saying Muslims worship a moon god and owls or something). Sometimes they were weird conspiracy movies on homemade DVDs or VHS too, usually it was Loose Change (the 9/11 conspiracy documentary). But sometimes they were the most unhinged fundamentalist stuff I've ever seen. My housemates would drop acid and always get a laugh out of them.

    They were wild and very amateur, often filmed in what looked like backyards or church storage rooms. There was one movie a guy gave me where a kid is being yelled at by his mother for wearing an earring. The kid says it's fine, all the other boys do it. Then a slippery slope of events occur where the kid ends up being gay with like five other boys, ends up failing out of school, then he's in Hell with a demon blowing smoke at him. And like I remember the final image is like "This is the fate of all homosexuals." in big scary red text. My queer ass is gonna have a red dude in a paper mache mask blow black smoke at me forever oh no

    There was another where a family was sitting around a table and they don't say grace, saying something like "We don't need to thank God. He gets enough thanks." And a weird demon pops out of the ground and I swear the family starts saying things like, "No! We shouldn't have been liberals! We apologize! Don't take us to hell!" If I ever go back to my parent's place for some reason I'll check around if those movies are still in a bin somewhere and upload them for y'all, but I have no idea. This stuff was from like 2005.

    this has been around so long that surely someone is making "DRUGS" and "MY ANCESTOR" shirts, right?
