This viral piece was directed and created by CISMA (Denis Kamioka) and the Birdo Studio in Brazil. What it is advertising I’m not sure (rolling papers, I think) — but I love it. (Thanks, Jason Deeble) 16 Comments » posted in Music Videos

Did you know that CARTOONS HATE FAMILIES? It’s true, I guess. Otherwise they wouldn’t say in in all caps at christiansagainstcartoons.com. At first I thought it was a crazy over-the-top parody, but it seems to be the real thing. I, for one, would never have guessed that Monsters Inc. is an attempt by the Godless Disney organization to introduce Satanism to innocent children. But sure enough, it is! This site apparently has not been updated in a year, so I’d hate to push up their numbers and encourage them to post more. Still, it’s an interesting find — in the same way that the life forms one discovers hiding under a rock make for “an interesting find”. It’s too late for me, but you may still be able to save yourself from these filthy, vile cartoons! (Thanks Joe Dante and special thanks to Dewey McGuire) |
