The New and Improved Reformation


Some of the foulest, most inspiring and white trash icons I admire have fallen prey to an epidemic that is getting out of control. Someone needs to stop Christianity before it swoops down and reforms the last few idols I have. Someone needs to stop this new reformation and look at the problem at hand--some of our best, brightest and most worthless stars are giving in to the big guy.

Take Salt for example from the once popular group, "Salt 'n' Pepa"--Salt has traded in inspiring lyrics such as, "you're packed and you're stacked 'specially in the back", for a cross and bible. Salt, Shoop is a song that trail blazed the way for femenism in the 90's letting woman know that they too can describe men as "lollipops to be licked."

Kirk Cameron--Fuck you Kirk. I loved Kirk Cameron as the hormonal, prankster Michael Seaver on "Growing Pains". Now Kirks one with the Lord, and I don't like it. Kirk went from making $50,000 a week on the set of "Growing Pains" to shooting low-budget, straight to video Christian films. Can we say dumb? Kirk, pretty sure eternal salvation is not worth being a part of the Left Behind series.

Gary Busey-My idol. Gary is a self-proclaimed "born again Christian". Gary is the shit when it comes to Christianity because Gary makes Christianity look like Jesus is pouring vodka down the throats of the saved. Gary is the perfect example of a human being who has given into the idea of Christ, but hasn't let that affect his love of cocaine. Cheers Gary.
