I figured it wasn’t possible to be more offensive than my last few Saturday posts.

But you know that trite expression people say about others that make assumptions? Yes, it goes “If you ASS-U-ME… you’re a little bitch, and wrong!”

And like a little bitch, I was wrong.

So today, I bring you evidence of the one true religion:

Supramadgism!

I suppose not every bit of religious education animation can be from the absolute lunatic fringe or of piss poor production values… which is why I was so pleasantly surprised to actually find one about Islam that was done to the sort of level of quality that Disney used to pride itself in.

Here’s the first 5 minutes (after the annoyingly long credits roll)

Now, the only thing missing from this to really make it a Disney thing would be some signing and dance numbers, but apparently, recorded song and dance numbers are haram, thanks to a few specific haddith and ultra-orthodox crazies… who happen to be the vocal minority that manage to ruin it for everyone.

Just like Senator Fielding!

Shit, I’m managing to offend everyone lately… I’m on a fantastic roll here!

Next up on the “to offend” list: Wowbagger.

Ok, ever since we watched “Episode 9000″ of South Park, we all know how fucked up Scientology is. I mean, if 4chan’s against something, it has to be bad, right?

Just in case you don’t know what Scientologists actually believe, there’s a run down in the following video:

So why should we care about this? I mean we all know they’re kookie, and this is hardly something unexpected, like Jews swinging live chickens around their head, or ruining the space/time continuum.

Well, it’s the exact content of the cartoon in this particular instance.

I have noted, from the imagery contained within, that Xenu is:

• a homosexual, or a metrosexual at the very least; Why else would he be so buff and have a pink battle helm (00:41 & 00:51 respectively)?
• likely to have worked for the United States Armed Forces at some point, as indicated by his more than willing stance on the use of hydrogen-atomic weapons (01:08);
• an enemy of, and has been raided by, The Avengers at least once (01:18);
• one of Superman’s arch-nemesii. Hence the floating diamond sub-space prison (01:20);
• insisting that all Scientologists be stuck in 80s fashions (01:30);
• making sure you will never have to ask someone to get you a cup of tea again (01:48).

Now, frankly, I’m beginning to think that Scientology looks rather cool from all this. I mean, I’d happily part with a few thousand dollars if it meant I was going to be happy and be able to shoot tea cups with my mind… But then again, Scientology also says that modern psychiatry is bullshit, which means I wouldn’t be able to get delightful little pills like Adderall.

Scientology = no drugs = stupid religion.

So, it’s not quite as religious as the other stuff I’ve been getting you watching these last few Saturdays. In fact, it’s down right secular… But it has it’s routes in religion.

Now, if the Jews got in trouble for badly producing terrible cartoons with low production values and ripping off Top40 tracks, one has to wonder precisely what circles of Hell are saved for those with even worse production values and ripping off famous Disney characters whilst they’re still within their copyright period (that keeps getting extended everytime the sunset clause begins to draw to a close on the copyright terms… butthat’s a post for another time)

With that said, one can’t help but take sick delight in the Arab/Israeli conflict when it’s depicted in this way. There just seems to be something rather fitting about a Mickey Mouse being a martyr. I think it’s the gross consumerism of it all, using one of the most mass marketed and easily recognisable icons of the 20th century, something that has basically become an icons or idol if you will to millions of people, and using this said idol to basically spread the message of The Prophet.

Good going there guys, you’ve really thought through the philosohpical and moral underpinnings of this one.

Then again, if you’re the kind of person that decides to create programming designed to encourage children to blow shit up, with themselves at the epicenter, as opposed to attempting to negotiate some kind of peaceful solution and break a century old cycle of violence, I suppose you probably haven’t.
