Spotted Dick is a British product that is common in Canada, and you can find it over here too at World Markets. My socialist British husband buys a can every time we go to that store.

Usually the product stuff doesn’t bother me too much as long as it’s not overtly prostelyzing and the product is good.

mmmmm kumquats…

Anyway, talking about proselytizing douchebags, have you ever flown Alaska Airlines? When I flew them a few years ago (before the crash of flight 261), I was shocked to find a little piece of paper with a bible quote included in my (crappy) lunch box.

Turns out they were owned by a bunch of fundies (they’ve since been taken over by another airline) who cared more about pushing their “values” onto unwilling customers than doing the right thing with maintenance: the investigation revealed widespread problems where management pushed severe cost-cutting measures that eventually caused the crash.

What’s ironic about this whole situation is that Promised Land milk (at least the chocolate milk) is some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s fantastic.

OK, as a Canadian (and a homo), I will confirm, we do giggle at “Homo milk” around age 10 or so, but soon grow used to it. It’s there, at the grocery store, just like long English cucumbers and kumquats. We buy it, consume it.

It still rocks, though.

From their mission statement:

…and to develop healthy minds, bodies, and souls that will last a lifetime.

Aren’t souls supposed to last a bit longer than that?

Are they allowed to exclude non-Christians? What if you went in there just for the karate or tumbling lessons, but then left before the sermon (or whatever)? Or, even better, challenged the coach on their beliefs as they read from the bible?

My daughter’s gymnastics school was bought and went fundie and we pulled her out. I think that quite a few parents were a little alarmed at why the new owners felt the need to mix religion with tumbling class. Check out the mission statement:

I guess if you are a jew (or anything else for that matter!) you’d have to find a new gym since it is a Christian environment. Or, is it a “don’t ask, don’t tell” kinda thing?

LOL I never went to karatekidsforchrist website before and it’s so funny for more reasons than the logo!

Attention Parents: Have your children wanted to learn Karate or Martial Arts but you were concerned about the potential influences of a non-Christian environment?

Translation: Parents - are you worried your argument for your religion is so weak that you worry that some eastern religion/philosophy might make more sense to your kids? If so, get your christ and your kicks on at Karate Kids for Christ!”

Good times…

Here in NC, I’ve run into quite a few “christian companies” that sport gigantic christian fish in their logos. Nothing like using religion to sell a product! Want your house painted? You know those dirty mexican painters are atheists! Get your christian on with our paint!

The worst though, is the Karate Kids For Christ (seriously exists). Their logo is a drunken collision of every terrible logo idea one could think of for Karate, Christ, the Triangle, and Kids. It’s so damn funny. It’s also damn embarrassing that the one oasis down here from southern fundieness (Raleigh/Durham Research Triangle Area) is still inflitrated by something so damn embarrassing. God, at least get a halfway decent logo for christ’s sake!!

Promised Land has grabbed a HUGE portion of the Texas natural foods market for the last few years. I think they are not that overly fundie. Interesting they originally planned to spawn redfish on their farm. What were they thinking? They are a couple hundred miles from the coast. Good thing they went for cows instead.

The number one supplier of aquarium gravel in the US also has a Bible quote on their packaging.

Heh, Dr. Bronner’s label is full of crazy, but if you read about the guy, he wasn’t half bad. However, I’m not a big fan of the soap. For something that’s supposedly super duper extra concentrated, it sure takes a lot to finish washing up.
