It’s either this or another atheism post. You want to hear me drone on about the implications of neurotheology, or the difference between moderate and Wahhabist atheists? No? Then it’s Star Wars parody time, baby.
The YouTube description says it debuted before the first screening in AMPAS’s “Great to Be Nominated” series. This is the first inkling we get in any of the films, I believe, that there’s still some good left in Darth Vader.

Thanks AP.
With the total abdication of conservative leadership these days, we need more of this type of post to keep sane.

Can never have enough Star Wars parodys
Kevin43 on April 26, 2007 at 5:40 PM
neurotheology you say? I’m intrigued. Do you have a pamphlet?

I wish I could do that

Heh. My favorite is still the Tie-Tanic parody, though.
Mr. Bingley on April 26, 2007 at 5:44 PM
Awesome

Appropriate consequences swiftly delivered: effective.

Damned directors cuts… Who needs’em? Bah!

Freakin awesome.

Niiice. That is excellent, that would be great to see at theaters. I can’t stand when people talk on the phone throughout half a movie. STFU and GTFO!
As for the mellow vs. evangelical atheists…yeah, Allah, I’d go with the mellow guys. I’m not inclined to dislike atheists for being atheists. Its just their overbearing and obnoxious evangelicals are just as unbearable as any other ones, and they are loud, shrill as hell, tenacious and relentless.

Yeah. But where is the japanese/poodle/sheep story that I’ve been waiting all day for someone to post.

There it is!

You can’t make this up. Come on now:

Ever wonder what society would look like in an Atheistic society? Wahhabist to the 10th power? Check it out!

That is a bogus story. It is the same as the old urban legend about chiuauas and rats

I don’t think so. It seems to be real.

The consequences of a “government education” for sure…
Lawrence on April 26, 2007 at 6:48 PM
Sweet.

The next time I’m in line at the grocery store and the twonk in front of me starts yakking on their cellphone, I’m going to try that.
Heck, you never know, there’s a 1 in 10^31 chance that I might do that JUST at the point in time-space that allows a freak evolutionary trait in my brain to access strange and semi-wholesome powers.
It could happen.
And, frankly, it would be harder to prosecute than just whacking them with one of those little grocery separator things for the conveyor belt thingy.

Tie-tanic is good, but my all time favorite is the Vader Sessions at akjak.com

That is funny.
Love it.

I guess that explains why Vader got to go to Jedi heaven after, among other things, slaughtering the innocents at the Jedi Temple, overthrowing the Democratic Republic, and, oh yes, genociding a whole planet. (Alderan)
He should have thrown that cell phone user down one of the many ‘evil villain’ shafts that were so prevalent in the series.

That was so much better than Lucas’s prequels!

Will someone be knocking on my door during dinner?
thedecider on April 26, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Heh. Always liked Vader best.

Two in a row, the online talent’s taken a quantum leap! Dittos.

That annoying little clicking!

Good post. Anyone here ever heard of “Chad Vader?” Stupid as all get out, but FUNNY! I don’t know who they got to do the voice, but it’s eerily similar…
Militant Bibliophile on April 27, 2007 at 2:44 AM
And here is the link (I hope) for the uninitiated. Enjoy!

I’m gonna try that the next time some soccer-mom is driving 25 in the left lane. If it doesn’t work, maybe I’ll just use the “pit” manuver like they do on “Cops”.

My cell phone cost almost $600. Each patron of the theatre can pay me that amount to get me to shut it off when at the theatre.
$5 stale hotdogs (when you can get them)
$7.50 flat sodas.
$8.50 for a ticket to see a movie that will be on Cable in a week.
And I’m paying this, and required to miss a phone call that might be a matter of life and death? From your cold dead hand will I pry my cell phone.
If the theatre had the class to ASK us to turn off the cell phone, that’s one thing. But to use a bogus religious message (yes, the farce is a religion, think Taoism) to insult and attempt to intimidate me?
Okay, I’ll leave the cell phone at home… and point out all the idiocy and plot-holes in the movie for the entire audience to appreciate, how bout dat?
You guys *do* realise that Star Bores is nothing more than thinly veiled liberal propoganda draped in Asia-worship.
Lightsabre = kendo sword, the farce = Taoism.
The idea that a farm boy could “feel” his way to the target rather than millions of credits worth of computer circuitry is PURE liberalism.
Ewoks = Viet Cong.
The Empire is technological, the rebels are “organic”. The imperial soldiers are plastic robots, their weapons mechanical camels, the rebels wear earth-tones and fly speedsters.
If Star bores was made today, the rebels would be wearing towels on their heads, and the farce would be invoked by slapping your head on the floor 5 times a day.
