Good to see you too, CJ! When are you coming back to Hollyweird for a visit? I miss you, girl!!!
Gonzo, you can contact Bob at normalbobsmith dot com or through the
Normal Bob Smith Yahoo! Group
A message from Bob (this morning):

Subject: And down she goes.
I would like to make it clear that without the web host that I had
there would never have been a site. WebCast1.com contributed their
hosting service to me for more than 3 years because they support the
cause (and they still do). But now they are being threatened with
digital terrorism (I just received the notice from them minutes ago).
You already know who's responsible for this:
Laptop Lobbyist
Million Moms/Million Dads
American Family Assoc.
Let there be no doubt that I'm on this, and the site will be back.
Normal Bob Smith
PS. Fire Bush
I've written to Bob and told him to get in touch with you guys.
Also...
PROTEST SCHEDULED
We will be staging a protest outside of Urban Outfitters 1627 Walnut
St. Philadelphia, PA (midtown Philly) Sunday, April 4th 3:30pm. I will
be coming with a camera crew, photographers and friends. We will be
contacting the local NBC news station (where this all began) and we
will be protesting the discontinuing of the Jesus Dress Up magnets. Be
there and let your voice be heard! This is no joke, so come with signs,
people, loud voices and energy. It'll be fun!
I don't think it's insignificant that religious parody is being painted with the same brush as porn, and by the same "godly" groups. AGAIN.
Does anybody remember Larry Flynt's being harassed for a parody of Jerry Falwell in Hustler? I do. This is exactly the same issue. Larry was within his rights to parody Falwell, a living, breathing human being... is Normal Bob not within HIS rights to make sport of Jesus, who is at best a long-dead prophet and at worst a mythical hero who never really existed in the flesh at all?
This is America. Nothing is sacred, and most of us like it that way.
(edit because I fucked up the I tags!)
