Donnie Davies Don't Deserve Da Dish

The Donnie Davies hoax had the blogosphere on fire the beginning of this year. This self-proclaimed "Anabaptist youth pastor" and "ex-gay" found himself censored by both Google Video and YouTube. They apparently couldn't figure out if his song "The Bible Says" (featuring the lyrics "God hates a fag, if you're a fag he hates you too") was meant seriously or not. Well, since the link is still arriving in my mail every other day and since it's still not confirmed who the real Donnie Davies is, I'm gonna give my two cents to the debate.

First of all: the two main suspects, Bobby Conn and the Glass Gypsies drummer Colby Stark, and comedian Joey Oglesby, still deny all participation. Oglesby is still widely believed to be the culprit behind the Donnie Davies phenomenon although he claims to have nothing to do with it. The theory of a viral marketing campaign for a C.H.O.P.S. (Changing Homosxuals in to Ordinary People in Donniespeak) movie doesn't seem to add up since the www.chopsmovie.com website point to a documentary on jazz music. So the mystery is still unsolved.

What amazes me is that so many gay people are so upset by this prankster who's pointing the finger at all the bizarro christians out there with serious agendas. The Bruce Hornby-esque song is mildly amusing, and the guy performed with Norwegian homosexualist straight punks, Turbonegro, and gay singer Pete Shelley's legendary Buzzcocks at SXSW recently. Apparently Donnie didn't even sing for himself.

It's not like jesusfreaks need someone parodying their bizarre antics. The ever-disturbing Rev. Fred Phelps has a music video posted on one of his sites with his whole inbred choir performing a dereanged version of "We are the World" called "God Hates The World" that will have you laughing way beyond "The Bible Says".

And of course, there is the classic children's song "Lil' Markie – Diary of an unborn child", an Mp3 that's been circling the web for years. It is what it sounds like: a diary of a fetus, meant to teach children that abortion is a sin. The problem is that the kid is so annoying that pregnant women will start reaching for the nearest wire hanger before the song is over.

You can't make shit like that up. And spoofs like Donnie Davies don't even come close to the shear monstrosity of Westboro Baptist Church and Lil' Markie.

For more christian monstrosities. Check out Jesus Camp. The Academy Award nominated documentary is out on DVD now. If you buy a copy, a gay pornographer makes a buck and an angel gets his wings. Take that Fred Phelps.
