Rock Talk, Vol. IX
Yep, you read that correctly. Sunday morning an inflatable blue elephant visited Bridge Community church in Galveston. The elephant is part of National Porn Sunday campaign which is trying to beat out battle the multibillion dollar Porn industry. All bad puns aside, the 25ft inflatable blue elephant is a symbol of the “elephant in the pew,” said J.R. Mahon, pastor of XXXChurch.com, which spearheads the National Porn Sunday movement. Although their website name seems a bit askew, the group claims that 47 percent of Christian families say porn is a problem in their home, and 40 million people look at Internet porn daily. By addressing the problem in the church, the group is taking a proactive approach by reinforcing family values.
In addition to raising awareness among churches, XXXChurch.com pastors also attend pornography shows (interesting?) and pass out Bibles to participants, in an effort to help actors get out of the business. “We need to turn people’s heads and use big language and outrageous methodology to get public attention,” said Mahon. “We make no excuses or apologies for that.”
After leaving Galveston on Sunday, the Blue Elephant continues the fight against the porn on a world tour.

And do you know what this elephant likes to play with?
Big blue balls.
I guess only Democrats like porn. Hillary '08! :-)
I didn't know there was a national day for porn!? Awesome!
I never need an elephant at my porn Sundays. I'll definitely consider it now, though. Hat tip to Chris!
And how many people posed in front of this elephant catcher-style or humping its leg? I somehow don't see using a giant blue inflatable to combat porn. Too many people are going to think of fun and inappropriate ways to turn it into ....well--something more fun and inappropriate!
