Have I got a great product for you,
Ma Perkins Homemade Garbage!
Think of all its good points:
It's a symbol of home.
It's a symbol of motherhood.
It comes in an attractive,
colorful package.
It has The Good Housekeeping
seal of approval.
It is regionally accredited.
It is endorsed by
glamorous movie stars.
Approved by millionaires
who climbed their way to the top.
The favorite of star athletes.
It's a triumph of
Madison Avenue advertising!
All these wonderful
points in its favor!
It's happening, it's in,
it's with it, it's cool, It's NOW!
The mean spirited, party-pooping,
fun-denying, Fundamentalist
carping critics,
just won't let up on
one little point,
it really is garbage.


"And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God."  Romans 12:2 KJV

The was inspired partly by
The Marketing of Evil by David Kupelian
