Charles on… anything that comes along

I noticed the title on this Unofficial Apple Weblog post - Think Christian: Parodies of the Mac/PC commericals from Community Christian Church - and without bothering to read it began wondering what sort of ads one could do.

If you haven’t seen the “I’m a PC/I’m a Mac” ads, get yourself educated over at Apple’s site. Sure, we’ll wait.

OK, and now imagine doing a few of those for different religions. Or subsections of same. White sheet, infinite horizon background, two people in medium close-up.

Such as:

• I’m a Christian/ I’m a Muslim.
• I’m a Catholic / I’m a Protestant
• I’m a Christian / I’m a Buddhist
• I’m a Christian / I’m Richard Dawkins

My toes are tingling already. You could properly offend people with this sort of thing. Why, even putting up this post will probably be some sort of thoughtcrime under the government’s proposed legislation outlawing religious hatred. I wonder if Rowan Atkinson will visit me in jail?

I suspect this is a meme that is going to end up.. being made.

(Sure, you’re all going to point me to examples where someone’s scripted these and put them on YouTube, eh?)
