Topic: Blogging
I dare you to get through the entirety of the video below. I warn you, it will be 8 minutes and 30 seconds you won't get back.
Now, I don't know if "Jesusophile" is a YouTube Troll (someone who creates purposely controversial vblogs in order to generate hits on his YouTube channel), a satirist, or an idiot that is easier to program than a VCR. But, I have never laughed so hard at something that seemingly was never intended to be funny. My favorite of course being when he said "Giraffes are stupid", but kudos to the idea of giraffes with wings too, there's a vision that will be with me for awhile.
Apparently this nice, if not naive, young man from the Netherlands is unaware that there is, in fact, evidence of evolution... it's called, FOSSILS!! (( eyeroll ))
The funniest, if not the scariest thing, about this is how many people have actually joined his channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Jesusophile. Nearly 1,000 and still growing and was awarded the "#72 Most Viewed (This Month) - Netherlands". But then, its really no wonder when you see his other vblogs with titles such as; "Why Condoms Don't Really Offer Protection Against STDs", "Why Homosexuality Is Against God's Will", and "Why Its Okay For Sex To Hurt the Vagina". All of which I felt might be too controversial to include in this blog. However, if you would like to have a good laugh at the stunning stupidity, and have the time, please feel free to give them a watch as well.
From what I've read of the comments that "tubers" have given, the consensus seems to be that he is a satirist, although the user "Jesusophile" has never confirmed or denied this. If this is true, he gives one stellar performance. I admit that I am often gullable, but to me, at least, he appears to be genuine in his sincere belief in what he is saying.
The problem with videos like the one above is that, without a disclaimer stating that what you are watching is either humor or satire, it can be assumed that what you see is what you get. This can be potentially dangerous if the viewer is swayed by what he/she sees and takes what is being said to heart without any benefit of being educated by facts. Most especially when it comes to the subjects of condoms, sex, homosexuality, and female sexual identity.
There is enough misinformation and prejudice that exists in our society already.
In conclusion I leave you with the following:
