This should be made a national holiday as it gives me yet another excuse to chug beer and gorge myself with ice cream cake. Then again I do that every day so I guess I wouldn't need any more excuses.
Oh, I understand! Art happens because of psychic aliens, not actual talent or creativity! Now I just need to find a way to entice these aliens to give me some art.
The Unarius entry on Wikipedia mentions that, "with 2001 having come and gone, and no space fleet landing having occurred, Unarius as an organization demonstrates both a returning to its roots and the principles." No doubt.
And the parking lot parade still takes place apparently.
Anon, if the aliens really come, do you think they'd bother with elderly arthritics in air-brushed Cadillacs and sweaty Toastmaster drop-outs? At least the Scientologists have billions of dollars and Tom Cruise, and the Raelians have masturbation - the Unarians just have a parking lot and (apparently psychic-inspired) really bad art.
Is this really supposed to be taken seriously? All of their iconography is taken from the campiest, cheapest scifi movies and novel covers ever made.
The Scientologists, for example, really try to keep all of the UFO scifi stuff out of the public eye, and work hard to present a face to the world that looks like any other religion.
And here are the Unarians just coming right out and saying to the world, "Yes, Flash Gordon was both a documentary and an important religious document."
This is definitely the least self-conscious religious organization I've ever seen.
@Christopher: They absolutely must be taken seriously. Their organization's name is printed on BALLOONS for goodness sake! Next thing you know they'll be handing out "Save the Date" magnets at the St. Patty's parade.
The ironic thing is in 2001 our world was ripped apart by terrorism instead of aliens.

ReplyDeleteWhat a crappy cult!! They could only get John Boy Walton as a celebrity follower, talk about Ghetto. And why is he doing a David Byrne impression?
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall the aliens being a noshow again in 2008
ReplyDeleteI dig Uriel's divine, airbrushed chariot. And that DaVinci portrait! Did she psychically photoshop that?

The UFO sex cult I joined has better costumes.
ReplyDeletewon't be laughing when the aliens really come...

Once I saw the Salvation Army parking lot, I knew this was gold.
ReplyDeleteOctober 15th? Why am I always the last one to find out about these things!
ReplyDeleteIve been an intergalactic exchange student rooming house operator for 5 years now.
ReplyDeleteHow bout Inter-Galactic Mail-order brides??
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the parade of planets but felt bad for that grandma who got stuck carrying the "Earth" banner. She got the shaft.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the aliens can forgive us feeble-minded earthlings for giving that dove the French of Intergalactic Peace. Bird rape.
