An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

Yay! Go FSM!
They have truly been touched by his Noodly Appendage!
(PS I ordered my copy of the Gospel last night – Hurry up Amazon! I can’t wait to read my Eight I’d Rather You Didn’ts!)

Way cool! Reminds me of when MTV used to actually play videos and bands used to actually make videos.

That is so awesome! The Flying Spaghetti Monster in a very cool video! Congratulations to Bobby Henderson! … Which reminds me, I was going to ask everyone if the two “Pirates of the Caribbean” DVDs are required viewing for all Pastafarians? Thanks!

LOL. I didn’t even notice the pirate ships/rafts until the 3rd time through. Gotta love it. Which church has the coolest choir?

@Queen of Rock’n'Roll
They’re probably not required but I’d recommend them, it teaches you the basics of being a pirate.
I haven’t watched it but if it’s anything like OEJ and Queen of Rock’n'Roll say it is, it’s probably good.
Don’t forget to kill those evil flame people!!!

I agree with evolution, but doesn’t this song set a bad example by saying “Evolution is your absolute.” Doesn’t us forcing are own ideals on someone make us as bad as the creationist who send all of that dreadful hate mail.

Unfortunately guys I think this video promotes ID…
“You just started ten thousand years ago
Presto Adam and Eve and go man go
Abel died, Cain took his life
And headed straight to the jungle to find a wife – wow!
Non-believers blame it all on apes
It’s monkey time – I want to see you shake
Evolution is obsolete”
A cool video, and although it references the FSM it’s got a bad message.

No, what’s giving out a bad message is people like you who think that this “religion” that’s based on a complete joke, is true….”Pastafarianism” is a great example of a practical joke gone horribly, horribly wrong

big problem with the New York Dolls is that they allowed David Johansen back, formerly known as Buster Poindexter (the guy who song HOT,HOT,HOT).

I ordered the paperback copy of the Gospel. The cover is kind of dissapointing its just a white background with a picture of the Gospel. Did you order the hardback. I wonder if the hardback version is actually the Gospel, or is it the same?

I still wanna know what that line is:
“Let ‘em fight it out in the supreme court
That’s such a ??????? indoor sport.”

@UU
I have the hardcover & it looks like the picture of the hardcover on the paperback. It’s about the same size (length & width) as a bible (thinner though) & has a sorta fettucini coloured bookmark ribbon. Perfect for holding up on street corners & preaching His Noodly Word.

The line is, “That’s such a mad, lame indoor sport.” I hope that helps.

I sorta thought that, but upon closer inspection (opening it in a wave editor & looping it at different speeds & stuff), I can definitely hear a ‘b’ or ‘p’ sound before ‘lame’. The first word in the line doesn’t really sound like ‘that’s’ either.
.
But then, coming from the guy who made the clip, I guess you probably have more authority on the subject.

BTW, Congrats on the award Dano.

Great Video. Congratulations to Dano on the award. As a long time New York Dolls and David Johansen fan I’ve always appreciated Johansen’s talent and humor. I got a kick from FSM and pirates appearances.
As with a lot of satire, the point will be lost on those whose ideas are the object of the joke.
Let’s face it, if a person’s cognitive range is limited, even by self imposed limits such as unwillingness, to a point where they can fall for ID or creationism, their just not in a mental state to get the satire.
Of course Divine intervention by the Noodley Appendage could change that…

Thanks, guys! It was fun making it and putting in the little background jokes. I wanted to put some more intelligent design jokes in there, but Johansen didn’t want it to be too heavy-handed. “Creationists buy records too,” he joked. “But are they allowed to dance?” I replied. :)

Gotta say the Dolls video might be the best I’ve seen ever. Not sure what the one guy was saying about “allowing” David Jo “back” in the band….Umm, he’s the only lead singer they ever had. And as for them, unfortunately, even if every other living member voted him out, it would be a 1-1 tie, and something tells me he and Syl Sylvain get along pretty well. Whole album’s a winner, and Dano, take a curtain call man, it’s deserved!
Gotta go, looking for my pretty little creationist, especially if she can stomp her hands and clap her feet!
