Yahoo! and Kirk Cameron

Log on to my Yahoo! email homepage, and what do I see?

I saw that too and felt a great desire to hit something. Going to have to email yahoo about it.

Did you watch the video? Is it footage of him typing charismatically onto a keyboard, tongue sticking out just a little as he concentrates on saving the souls of all those Damned purveyors of internet fetishism (specifically kinky Kirk Cameron fan fic sites, maybe?)? Or does he just talk a lot about saving the internet somehow (maybe by talking a lot?)?

I can't find it on the Yahoo page now, do you have a linkie? (for my mousie to clickie)

The day after the great debate tween Cameron & the other guy, versus the Rational Response Squad, Cameron had his mug on Yahoo's front page, with a story about his great revelations in becoming an Christian.

And that was his reward for getting himself on prime time TV again. Needless to say, the RRS did not show up on Yahoo's front page then, or since. And they wouldn't, of course; the whole purpose of the debate was to give Cameron and WOM top exposure, both on TV and Yahoo's pages.

Which is why debating these people is usually counter-productive. It always helps them, and doesn't help us very much at all. The RRS could have been called the Washington Generals for all the importance they served for the event (not that they lost; but even in winning the battle, Cameron and WOM win the ratings war).

Kirk Cameron brings religion to the internet? That's amazing. I wonder why no one ever thought to do that before?

I thought Jack Chick brought religion to the internet!


Or was it Kent Hovind?

Maybe it was Fred Phelps...
