I think it looked painful... but neither funny nor disgusting.
How do you find it funny? Is it funny because there was someone stupid enough to actually do that, and then it 'backfired' on them a bit?
And how do you find it vomit inducing, fr0d0? Was it the ugly naked man, the blood, or what?

I thought it looked sick, and for anyone to want to do such a thing... perverse.. on many levels.. so perverse as to produce an adolescent type of humour.. and at the same time a sickness for what bred such depravity.

I don't know about depravity, but extreme stupidity for sure.

I would think the point would be raised that this might be a disservice to atheism, the trading of bibles for porn. This is not at all a new idea, it happens about once a year somewhere. It is not a good way to impress people who own bibles. The average, younger, more avante garde people that like porn, may be. They will get a laugh. But older, more mature and serious people may think it is casting atheism in a bad light because of the association with porn. You can already hear the fundies, "Satan!", my question is why play into that? I am a fan of shenaniganary, and tomfoolery, but if you guys want to not be thought of as morally and intellectually inferior to the masses, may be actions that make you belief system seem more like a frat party than a life choice should be shunned.
But you already know how I feel about porn. Designed to damage you mind, but hey, feel free to love it up!
You should support a more adult atheism, less about prank phone calls and porn. It would help keep the conversation constructive. Just my thoughts.
Thanks,

Actually this has nothing to do with our belief system... it's just good business And in any case... fuck the fundies. Does anyone here want to be thought of as anything by morons who truly believe that Earth is 6000 years old? I should fucking hope not.

How the fuck would porn damage your mind? Watch out for the edge of that thar magazine yah: papercuts mon! Dey cut deep yah!
Oddly enough... sex (and hence porn) is something adults do. Small children usually haven't matured enough (read: grown into enough of an adult) to be even slightly interested in sex. If anything, you are asking us to support a more "childish" version of atheism... where we don't own up to sex and go all 'goo goo' over 'woo woo parts'. Also, it takes intellectual development to appreciate prank calls... at the least they are adolescent (read: well on way to being an adult).

Sex and pornography are a little different. The way it damages your mind is that it is so far from reality that some people have been taught a very twisted sexuality that is all about domination. Younger boys treat girls not just as objects, but purely sexual ones. They do not understand mutual love and respect, but that a girl is a kind of slave, and that she likes it. No means yes.
Did they not just go over the "one something one cup of something" list of famous porn? I have never seen any of these videos, but you're telling me that is good clean fun? Nothing happens to you for having to carry around that thought for the rest of you life? And sure, you say that prank phone calls are 'adolescent', if you're on your way to becoming adult, keep walking.
Don't you at least see my point? That handing porn out in exchange for bibles is not a respectable way to frame you belief system. You will only win the hearts of people who are already atheist, but happen to have a bible around, and like porn and sticking it to the man. You won't convert or impress anyone. It is immature, and I personally would be offended at what it says about something I hold dear, not happy because it is so kewl and punk rawk of them.
Keep being represented by prank phone calls and assholes trying to get a rise. But don't tell me that I am deluded, or I am somehow denying reality by believing. At least I grew up.
Thank you.

Funny thing about sex is, it's usually between two consenting adults. Some people want to be treated as objects, especially sexual ones. You'd be surprised the amount of domination fetishes out there. It's a multifaceted world, and to say something is wrong just because you don't subscribe to it is kind of self-righteous and preachy.
If you go to porn for relationship advice, you probably haven't had any real relationships, nor will you, if you treat women as objects (that don't want to be submissive).

So you're passing judgement on something you haven't even seen? Spare me the sob story here. It was done by people who were paid and willing to do it. It wasn't a child rape scene, it was two chicks shitting on each other. If it's not your thing, no one's putting a gun to your head telling you to watch this shit. Just don't poo-poo the people who do find it to their fancy.
Personally, I though it was hilarious. it looked like chocoloate icecream and I was more intrigued with the consistency than disgusted at the general movie.

I think you missed the point. I'm pretty sure it was a response to the religious proselytizers handing out bibles and damnation to the college crowd. It got attention, and I'm pretty sure it got people interested in the cause. Just as politics, you don't try to convert the established base, it's the undecideds that are the meat and potatoes. Since most atheists don't have an agenda and don't try to convert people, it's not a very promoted message.

Yes, thank you for growing up. Does it rain all the way up there on the pedestal that you've put yourself on? How does your belief or delusion have anything to do with how you approach a prank call situation? It just means you have a different sense of humor. Laughing at other peoples' expenses is seriously one of the joys of being human. It's not apathy for the individual, it's more of a knowledge that the same can happen to you, it just hasn't yet. Why do you think comedy is one of the strongest genres in entertainment? It's all about the little parallels we can draw from each others' lives.
Those people handing out porn don't represent me at all. How can you represent a population with no hierarchy or internal dogma, or unifying qualities for that matter? Would you say that they also represent those who don't believe in santa claus?
You're trying to take the moral high ground and you're just sounding like a pompous individual who isn't very open sexually. Excuse me if I'm wrong.

Ironically, the most conservative, god-fearing states are also the biggest consumers of pornography.
