Christ Save Me From "Apocamon"
Edited on Wed Mar-02-05 03:01 PM by Bark Bark Bark
Thanks EVER SO much to "World O' Crap" for letting me become aware of...this. Saved my soul, really. :)

http://blogs.salon.com/0002874/2005/03/02.html

After reading our piece about cheesy post-Rapture flicks from the '70s, Kip lets us know about Apocamon, which seems to tell the story of what happens when the people who miss the Rapture are afflicted with Pokemon monsters.


I defy anyone HERE to read the first two chapters (free) with a straight face. It starts out with a homosexual rape scene (non-graphic) and drops "F bombs" all over the place, Bush is portrayed as the buffoon he is, and (SPOILER) the Apocamon blow up a certain white house in a COMEDY scene--and it seems to be all in the no-I'm-NOT-kidding spirit of Jack T. Chick (whose own garbage is linked from the site) and all those crappy apocalypse movies that WOC covered earlier (recommended hilarity).

Thank Jesus for lawyers--in this case, Nintendo's lawyers.

If thou seeest not the animation below, thy browser lacketh the necessary Flash 5 plugin, and lo, there will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth lest thou downloadeth and installeth it.


"Seeest?" Oh, fuckest thou offest.

2. That's from the "e-sheep" webcomic site.
The cartoonist is great. I also recommend his serial "Spiders" - which he describes as "an alternative history to the war in Afghanistan."

3. Now that I've read the thing...
...yes, it IS a parody. I...think.

It's sad to be living in a time when you can no longer tell what's serious and what's mocking. I swear one of these days I'll pick up US News And World Report and ask myself, "how come MAD Magazine switched to glossy pages with photos?" But that's what happens when you wander into Jack T. Chick territory...the merest hint of subtlety results in confusion.

(There's the remnants of The Jack T. Chick Parody Archive out there somewhere; that had the safety catch of announcing right off the bat that it WAS parody. Oh, I miss that site...)

Anyway, I'll assume "Apocamon" is parody. In that spirit, I take back what I said in the original post. This is funny stuff.
