Transcript: Hi. I'm Reverend Cornelius Blow. Welcome to my church.
Every major religion has its own symbol, a device by which its members can be identified, a little picture that acts as a rallying point for the faithful. Christians have their cross, Muslims have their crescent, Jewish folk have their star, LonelyGirl15 has three unicursal hexagrams in the header bar of her website, the Republican Party has its elephant. All religions need one. The Church of Blow is no different.
I've tried out one or two ideas.
I quite like this one. Because the followers of the Church of Blow should be seen by the world to be happy people. I thought it'd be nice if the non-believers saw our symbol and thought to themselves "Wow! They must have a real fine time in the Church of Blow. Maybe it's the way to my personal salvation. Maybe I should subscribe."
When was the last time you saw someone smile at a cross? Crosses make people think of pain, crucifixion, the humiliation and untold suffering of their saviour. Why would anyone want to think about that? You don't get anywhere in this life dwelling on the past in that way.
So, while I was trying to get some inspiration, I went to get myself a burger. I'm not sure about this one. I was in Chuck E. Cheese when I came up with that. Who's idea was it to have vermin selling food products? Mice in your kitchen? Shouldn't they be setting traps, not advertising the fact. And while I was in there, they had this big, six foot Chuck E. Cheese and this little girl was crying, and... well, there's another six year old's birthday ruined by an overgrown rodent. Not sure about that one at all.
Anyways, I was blessed with many, many talents but as you see drawing really ain't one of 'em. I'm more a communicator than a drawer. I'm an ideas man.
And my idea is to get you, the founding members of the Church of Blow, to come up with your own symbol. Let's have a bit of democracy in here. Let's have us a competition. So think real hard about what best represents the Church of Blow and.... This competition is only open to subscribers by the way, I don't want anyone watching this to be a wise-ass and send me something crude. I know what you're thinking, I can see right through you.
So just drop me a comment or send me a picture or whatever and we'll see which we like best.
Or if one of yous is really smart with Photoshop and all, maybe you could put my face on a flag. Maybe we could get some buttons made. Y'all could wear 'em at work, so when your work colleagues say "Who's that on your button?" you can tell them, "Why, that's the Reverend Cornelius Blow. He's my personal salvation. He could be yours too. All you gotta do is subscribe to his YouTube videos."
Evangelize! You people don't evangelize enough.
I've been Reverend Cornelius Blow and you've been very kind.
