"Laziness and poverty are cousins"
pointed out by Ironic Catholic. Seen here on Flickr.
Jacob (the sign's photographer) does a nice job deconstructing this sign on the Flickr site. I don't feel I need to add too much. This one makes me more sad than angry. How far the church has strayed from Christ's message and earthly ministry...

Laziness and humor-blogs.com are cousins.
Wow, I like the new format. It's been over a week since I've been here. I like what you've done with the place. Did this have anything to do with the reviews over at Humor-blogs? I saw another blog whom everyone said they hated the black background and he changed it. D'OH! I'm in trouble then because mine too is black. :0P
ReplyDeleteBUT I WON'T CONFORM I TELL YOU! I JUST WON'T!!!!!!
Kenny Rogers Hymnal... HA!!!
Yeah, I started hearing before humor-blogs reviews that dark backgrounds were not very popular.

Don't worry, yours is still nice :)
Well it's simply smashing. :0)
ReplyDeleteYes! I have my Garish Pernicious Sign!
ReplyDeleteNice...at the moment I am pondering if Icelandic church signs might help you in anyway :)
ReplyDeleteWow, nice blog. I'm so glad my current church doesn't do this. I wish I had took a picture of my all time favorite. I saw on a sign for a small missionary baptist church in Georgia. It said,

Guess they have trouble getting return customers.
