Two-Dimensional Man
I finally had a chance to see Jesus Camp—fine little film!—and I must say, this segment where the camp counselors drag out a cardboard cutout of George W. Bush and have the children pray with it (to it? for it?), touch it, talk in tongues at it, etc. had me just howling with laughter:
To be honest, I'm not sure how much of it was the liberating laughter of incongruity and how much was the deranged laughter of Delilah in "Tombstone Blues," but it felt good at any rate.
