I was searching for reviews of Disney's Tarzan for an essay. To get a different point of view, I visited this site for reviews written for Christian parents.
That anti-Darwinian stuff is to be expected, though the death-phobia and the posterior-phobia are rather amusing.
And for the record, there was no scene where "the face of the human father faded into the face of an ape father". It was Tarzan's face fading into his ape mother's.

What I find interesting is that they use an acronym "WISDOM" to stand for Wanton Violence/Crime, Impudence/Hate, Sex/Homosexuality, Drugs/Alcohol, Offense to God, Murder/Suicide. Apparently, Tarzan had pretty high marks on their 'WISDOM' chart.
Since when was drinking wine bad acording to christian values? That one really didn't make sense to me.

It's only okay for those nutty Protestants. Us Catholics would rather have a wholesome cup of blood. And then we eat parts of Jesus' body.
Nice, normal values there then...

*rolls eyes* I just want to say, for the record, that not all Christians are quite that "conservative." Pleh..... as a Christian, I still LOVE Tarzan... I don't think that the movie was in any was promoting Darwinism or putting down Creation.... seriously, I hate this... some people just go SO off the deep end in the name of their "religion".... I'm sorry, guys... I really am... I wish this wasn't the Christianity that the world always has to see.... *sigh*

I posted another thread about the great evils of pop culture icons. Yes, Spears, N'Sync and BSB are all satanic tools of the devil. Watch your children for they soon may have spinning heads and puking pea soup!

And in Pokemon they evolve and everything. And walk around in t-shirts saying "Jesus sucks like a mother!" but in Japanese. Where everyone loves Hitler. They should all be burned.

The above site, and the other one about bubblegum pop, are proof positive of Niven's 3rd Law: There is no cause so right that one cannot find a fool following it.
It seems that a rather large and vocal number of fools are drawn to the various brands of Fundamentalism and Fanaticism.
At least that helps the rest of us by keeping the targets concentrated.
Note to Christians: Clean House. Then we'll talk.

Why do I have to clean my house? I'm in halls of residence. A cleaner's suppossed to do that. At the very least, she should vacumn my floor. But whenever she sticks her head in at 8 in the morning, her face goes all white, and she runs away screaming.
That's not the service I'm paying for.
