FSM vs IPU youtube contest at Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

FSM vs IPU youtube contest

Published by henderob February 13th, 2007 in General FSM news.

I just received an email from a Pastafarian named Brian who is putting on a quirky youtube contest:

I’m encouraging people to make and upload videos about a battle between the Invisible Pink Unicorn and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Ideally, I would like some to point out the insanity of religions (i.e. christianity & muslims) killing each other over imaginary creations.

More details of the contest can be found here. Entries must be in by April 1st, 2007. The best video will win a can of spaghetti O’s.

RAmen to you.

Clever, now if only i knew how to make a video of that…

But that’s a Visible Pink Unicorn! According to one of my colleagues, who is of that church, that’s not good!

It is important for belief that followers of religions have something to look at. If their eyes aren’t busy, their brains start working. Mohammed, Jesus, Moses, etc. The FSM and the invisible pink unicorn therefore sometimes have to manifest in visually accessible ways, and that’s why we can see the IPU in the above pictures.

well said spaghetti shaman
RaMen to you!

Is it true that the Invisible Pink Unicorn pees in bottles to make Guinness?
9 Wench Beth Feb 13th, 2007 at 4:49 pm

I can’t wait to see all the finished videos!

This is tough. The Invisible Pink Unicorn is cousin thrice removed but as a Pastafarian I can’t possibly desert his flying noodliness. I’ll back the FSM. The IPU never writes or calls and when he does visit I never know he’s there anyway.

RDPK,

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is invisible but usually depicted as visible.
I think we’ll let the Visible Invisible Pink Unicorn slide.
.
But only if the FSM wins. Screw you invisible pink non-existent horse with an ice cream cone on your head.
.
You want some? Well the FSM kicked Santas butt and all his little helpers so a horse is gonna be a piece of cake.
.
RAmen.

My vote is for the FSM as well. He created mountains and midgits, fer cryin out loud! Do we really think Schroedinger’s horse stands a chance? Now the Purple Oyster of Doom, on the other hand, may give Him a run for His money.
13 Spotted Zebra Feb 13th, 2007 at 6:27 pm

@Josh the Pirate
Purple Oyster of Doom? What does this beasty do? How on earth do you say that purple shell fish can give the FSM a run for His money? Shame, shame, shame!
14 Josh the Pirate Feb 13th, 2007 at 7:05 pm

Let’s be honest here. The POoD has the word Doom in his name, and the FSM has, well…meatballs. Now, I didn’t say the FSM would lose, lest you question my faith. I just think it would be closer to a fair fight. A pink fluffy My Little Pony wouldn’t even see the FSM coming, which would be ironic since it’s, you know, invisible and stuff. BTW, the wikipedia entry on the IPU has more info on the POoD.

The way it’s visually set up above, it looks like the unicorn is goring FSM. Is this really fair? FSM is starting from a complete disadvantage.
16 Wench Beth Feb 13th, 2007 at 11:54 pm

The Invisible Pink Unicorn has only one appendage (his horn) which in itself is debatable because no one has actually ever seen him. The Flying Spaghetti Monster has multiple noodly appendages (praise be to Him) so I think it’s quite obvious who is the superior being (and fighter).
17 Ships Cat Feb 13th, 2007 at 11:59 pm

@Wench Beth
I dunno…That horn does look dangerous and the FSM is a peace loving noodley inspiration to all of us. Perhaps rather than fight the FSM could just “will” IPU to disappear or at least become a Pastafarian.
RAmen.
18 The Spaghetti Druid Feb 14th, 2007 at 12:06 am

I hope this doesn’t lead to a holy war between the two religions. It could be bad rep for our noodly savior.
19 Jingles Feb 14th, 2007 at 3:57 am

@Bill; If you watch the ‘tube article, it is only goring a teddy bear. Which is why the FSM is so much better.
.
The hallowed pasta does not engage in mindless torture of small cuddly animals, unlike absolutely anything that is pink (the colour of the devil!!!).
.
What’s more, whereas IPU is invisible, and can only be caught by virgins (pfft some special powers those are! You really want to get caught by an experienced wench.), the noodley one is also invisible, PLUS is incorporeal PLUS can summon wenches AND pirate fish to his side PLUS could, if he wanted to, just stop holding on to IPU and let centripetal acceleration (or lack thereof) cause IPU to go flying off into space.
.
There; FSM wins hands down (or noodley appendages maybe)!

Purchase the Gospel

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
