Damn Churchies...

[plattopus]

I just got an email telling me that someone had submitted a question to DTFAQ.com... this is what it said:

Question: Why did you guys start using curse words in your new album? It was and is very discouraging.

The sound on your new album is great--why did you have to ruin it with vulgarity. I was even spreading some of your music to young musicians in my church. NOT ANYMORE!!! Come on guys. Even if you don't sing lead vocals--if you are a Christian don't go along with this junk. I know not all of you are, but some of you are suppose to be. Your music was much better before.

Very Dissapointed,

brad

I am ashamed to share a name with this moron.

First of all, he's speaking as if this message is going directly to the band, when the site states MANY TIMES that I have no contact with the band and the FAQ has nothing to do with them.

And then there's the rest of the shit about cursing and Christians and stuff. Double ewe tee eff mate?

Since when is "THOU SHALT NOT CUSS" a commandment?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

What a tosser. The swearing on the album is in good context anyway, it isn't like they turned into Blood Duster or anything.

 

[Spiff]

Foxtel is getting its very own Christian channel soon!

I'm sure Jesus swore just a little when he was being nailed on the cross.

 

[phlogiston]

I am unfamiliar with the album and the words in question. What exactly are the cusses he's objecting to?

 

[plattopus]

I think the word "fuck" or "fucking" appears twice on the Train of Thought album, plus one or two instances of the word "shit". Like Blitz said... it ain't Blood Duster.

Spiff: is it ACC? Optus has had that for a while... it's hilariously funny and painfully sad all at the same time.

 

[Spiff]

Yep, I believe that's the one. If it's half as funny as going on a Christian IRC channel, then it should be good stuff.

 

[Sydo]

Fucking spastic. Go live in your shell.

 

[Goreripper]

Yep, I believe that's the one. If it's half as funny as going on a Christian IRC channel, then it should be good stuff.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Write back to him and *accidently* use the word cun't instead of can't

EG:

Hi Brad,

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, I cun't put it up on the website because it may offend the band and I cun't have that happening.

Brad

 

[Goreripper]

Actually, paraphrase an ancient Two Ronnies skit and claim that your "a" key isn't working so you have to use the "u" exclusively, to wit:

"Hi Brud,

Thunks for your question. Unfortunutely, I cun't..." etc.

I guess you could also pretend you're from New Zealand.

 

[phlogiston]

Write back, say you've mentioned it to the band and they say "Fuck off you shit eating cunt."

Once again some idiot is using religion as an excuse to peddle a personal agenda. Scumfuckingbags.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

hehe that church sign generator rules!

 

[Stonewall]

Hilarious church sign.....


But by the by, who really cares if this person dislikes the swearing on a DT album...? Sure, he may be a semi-inarticulate wanker, but respect his right to disapprove I say!

I don't quite follow this...?

 

[plattopus]

OK, let's see what happens... keep the suggestions coming, and the best one I will send to the guy and re-post his reply here.

 

[Spiff]

Does it say anywhere in the bible not to swear?
