All it took was a Google Search.
That Amnon Bar-Tur shot Penthouse pictures back in the 70s doesn’t bother me much but when you are doing a bible-based theme park, well, you know, that’s going to wig some folks out if they don’t know ahead of time. People get touchy about their soft-core mixing with their bibles.
It tends to offend.
This is the part about the Bible Theme Park situation that broke this morning at Nashville is Talking. It’s this one sentence that makes sense to me:
How much due diligence have county commissioners and supporters done when a simple Google search would have revealed this and more?
Read the whole thing over there and, yes, the story has been Farked.
As I just posted as NIT as well, I just think the whole idea of a Bible theme park is stupid in this time of economic crisis anyway - not to mention the fact it will just add to continued national & global ridicule of Tennessee in general - but honestly, do those people think the demographic that is probably most interested in a Bible theme park can AFFORD such things right now?
That money could just be better spent and it’d be one less thing for the planet to have to make fun of Tennessee and the South about.
And I’m a baptized Christian too, the Bible thumpers are no more Christian than me so, you know, pffft. I can’t imagine that God thinks such a thing as “Bible Disney” is a good idea in a time of such economic crisis, either.
Wait a minute, that’s the father of one of the developers? So what? I mean, I think that park is a dreadful idea in more ways than can be listed in a short time, but why should anyone care what the developers’ parents used to do for a living?
Maybe the Pentagon will hire him to bring that Baghdad Disneyland project to fruition, seeing as how they’ve “fast tracked” it and all …. and I suspect Mr. Bar-Tur will find himself unexpectedly available for new projects rather sooner than he expected.
so will this project soon be called a Theme Fark?
