John Safran preaches atheism to Mormons in Utah

Post by _Fortigurn »

Only other Australians on this forum will fully appreciate this link, but I believe most of us here will get something out of it. John Safran is an Australian icon, and a counter-cultural intellectual.

I've seen that before, but it was just as funny the second time round. Classic!

I love when he starts reading the XTC song in that serious "poem recital" way. Hilarious.

Have you seen the clip where he dresses up as Prince and goes door-knocking for the JWs?

I'll look for it. In the meantime, enjoy his film 'Extreme Mormons!'.

Ok, found it (here). Be aware that it's a Real Media file.

I found both videos amusing, and I am thinking of taping a response to his LDS video titled: "John Safran: the Art of Catastrophizing Non-Events" or "Chicken Little has a Brief Encounter with the Mormons". ;-)

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Enjoyed it so much

I think some of the funniest parts are the place where they talk to two older guys, one responds "look I am a Bishop", another takes to him with a broom.

I thought 'Extreme Mormons' was very insightful.
