Christian humor?

Can such a thing exist? I thought the only Christian jokes were like "...just like an atheist funeral. All dressed up and no place to go." Or Prottys make fun of Catholics or little kids make fun of Satan. Ok, maybe your friends didn't make fun of Satan.

Here, I thought D. Chappelle and K.I. Wayans the only funny people. My boy Justin sent me this little blurb and a link to a site that I'm about to check out. I have a feeling that it's like the Christian "the onion" but we'll see. This piece is a riot, and like the saying goes, "it's funny 'cause it's true."


DETROIT — Rapper Eminem is taking a year off and has written no songs recently, but Christians are already preparing to be offended by his next album.
"I'm good and ready to be outraged," says Earl Gillani, 46, who has been practicing his shocked expression and the "don't you bring that garbage into this house" speech he plans to give his teenager.
Mother Maureen Dafney cringes at the very thought of Eminem's next musical offering.
"It pains me to think of his next album," she says. "I'm primed for disappointment."
Some parents who've been waiting on tenterhooks for the latest line-crossing CD simply want the relief of knowing what they have waited to be offended by.
"It's harder not knowing," says Paul Derby, 39. "I'm looking forward to that moment of stunned vexation when I finally hear how far he's gone this time."
Eminem told SPIN magazine he will work diligently to make the album as offensive as possible so not to let down his Christian audience.
