I liked that. |

you know they were selling that stuff on ebay? it's not hard to burn toast and scrape things off and make it look like something |
|
yeah that's true, two people look at a cloud two people see two different things, it's just what some people interpret, i see burnt toast- i see trash. |

What is so mind blowing is that about a quarter of the people who post under that guy's videos don't pick up on the fact that they are satirical. It is an embarrassment to atheism when one atheist after another argues with the things said in the videos. That seems to be a big problem on You Tube. I can't make a smart ass comment on that site without ten people wanting to argue with what I said. When I explain that it was sarcasm, half of them are confused out of their minds. You Tube is a Mecca for total morons. |

you could tell it was satire by his voice alone |
|
Absolutely! It boggles the mind to think that there are so many people out there who took it seriously. |
|
lol, i liked the question on there "what is mother teresa doing up there?", who were those two guys at the start with her? |

God is NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS. |

Video does not load. |

I did not know about that law until you brought it up. That does explain a lot. The fundamentalist videos are so absurd that they are sort of close to sounding like what the satirical videos sound like. But still, it seems like the sarcasm is pretty glaring in Edward Current's videos. In one of them, he wears a Jewish hat on top of a turban and says he is a member of every religion, and people STILL took it seriously. |

I dunno, I was nearly fooled myself on the first video I saw, but thankfully I saw it was a satire the more I watched that video in particular. Also, to be fair, Edward Current actually argues for the Bible a lot better than some apologetics I've come across, even though he is being satirical. So in a way, it is understandable that people fall for this. |

Out of curiosity, does the video work for anyone else? I can view other YouTube videos without any trouble. I would like to watch this vid. |

That is true. He is using the same arguments fundamentalists use. He just presents them in such a way that the absurdity of them is much more highlighted than when fundamentalists use them. The video I posted at the top resembles the real thing more than a lot of his videos. I am mainly talking about the one where he says he is a member of every religion and his other really outrageous ones. But also, too many You Tube commenters have a problem of NEVER being able to recognize any kind of sarcasm. |

Aye, but as for Youtubers, the more vocal they are, the more likely they are to be assholes (those who not only rate everything down, but HAVE to comment on every video they see in a negative way). As for detecting satire, it has to be of the very obvious type in order to be recogniseable by these people. |
