Warning! May lead to psychedelic Beatles consumption

You really have to take a look at the Focus on the Family's new website. They're the creepy people who are doing those "pro-family" (read: anti-gay marriage) ads you might have heard. This website, however, called Plugged in focus on movie, television and music review, from, well, a unique perspective.

For instance, the summary for Beatles Anthology 1 reads in part:

Now that the Beatles are being embraced by young music fans again, Anthology 1 may also help bridge a generation gap in many homes. However, it may lead teens to sample subsequent Anthology discs covering the more "psychedelic" stages of the band's career. Use discernment.

Can you imagine! Not psychedelia! Next thing you know they'll be wanting to listen to disco!

More goodies:

Phish: "floundering spirituality keeps it from being a keeper." And here I thought it was just the band's fans that were floundering.

ESotSM: "Sadly, the minds behind Eternal Sunshine eschew absolutes and embrace relativism." I hear that they stoop so low as to quote Nietzsche.

Troy: "If these ancients had embraced the God of Abraham instead of diverse mythological concoctions, some of their scripted credos would have been terrific..."
Silly bronze-age grecians. You would have thought they should have known.

Freaky Friday: "On a more positive note, Tess rebukes Anna for dressing like "a little harlot." We need more harlot calling in daily life.

Mean Girls: "[It] has forced me to wonder if teen culture has declined to the point that it’s now impossible to create a bitingly relevant commentary on it without resorting to objectionable themes."

Shakespeare in Love: " In light of its numerous Oscar nominations, Shakespeare in Love has been virtually guaranteed a longer shelf-life than it deserves. That's too bad. This film is severely marred with sensuality and explicit sexuality. Viewers are cheated out of a positive portrayal of true love and passion and given instead a royal dose of adultery and lust." All that and cross-dressing too!


And that's just a random sampling, there's loads more goodies in there. I really have to finish my speech for San Diego. It's a pretty big deal for me professionally, and consequently, I'm doing a pretty good job of procrasinating.
