You must pretty much love this. Ben Folds, anti-American Christianity, anti prosperity, AND Matt Lucas. Well well well.
I really like the song actually, and the videos cool too. I thought that it was interesting to see the old guy sitting on his porch. The first time you see him, he's holding a picture of Jesus, and the last shot of the video is him having replaced it with a picture of the televangelist. Its got a really pertinent message, I hope our brothers and sisters in the States don't make too much of a fuss about it.
wannabe eco-warrior, writer, mother, cafe owner, homeowner, just about everything, but not quite made it there yet, so settling quite comfortably at present as a wife and nurse.have thought about tackling big spiritual issues but usually end up having a cup of tea and going back to it later.

I like the line 'they speak your name but no-one knows your face, billboards quoting things you never said'
