HOT GOD VENDORS

No one would ever eat hot dogs if they knew how they were made....I know someone said something similar to that once.

I reveled in a mailer my office received today. It says "HOT DOGS!" and is from a one man company offering me the services of a "Hot Dog Cart and Vendor". This hot dog salesman says he's fully licensed and available for daily or hourly rates (4 hours minimum). Condiments included: mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, onions, relish and jalapenos (this is South Texas).

He also promises that his hot dog cart will be "shiny, new and clean."

I'm not sure when I'd have the need for a personal hot dog vendor, but I'm hanging onto his mailer just in case.

I also got word today from the Baptist General Convention of Texas that the AMC movie theatre chain has rejected an ad designed to run in conjunction with the premiere of Mel Gibson's new film, "The Passion of Christ".

The ad depicts a young man saying, ``You want to see the most scandalous story ever?"

These words flash on the screen: BETRAYAL. SIN. ADULTERY. GREED. ENVY. WEAKNESS. POVERTY. TORTURE. MURDER.

The actor then says, "Redemption"

The ad ends "Now playing at a Baptist Church near you."

AMC says the ad is too dark" and "too Christian".

Maybe I'll send out a mailer...

HOT GOD!

Our story is shiny and new....and far more palatable than hot dogs.

No condiments required.

No minimum.
