Okay, since it was recommended to me to try a "regular" Thursday night snark, I figured I'd go ahead an give it a shot. For now count on this being a regular thing.

AFA Calls for Boycott of the Internet
The AFA announced today a boycot of the entire Internet, and encouraged Christians everywhere to do the same.
AFA President, Don Wildmon called for Christians everywhere to smash their computers into tiny pieces or set them on fire. "Exorcise the Great Demon from your midst! Computers are the AntiChrist!"
IBM, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, Apple Computers, Compaq, Dell, HP and others refused to comment on Wildmon's remarks.
Wildmon noted that pretty much every retail store, manufacturer, media company, college or university, and states, counties, cities, and municipalities too numerous to mention all engaged in some form of pro-homosexual activities ranging from treating homosexual persons as real human beings to such drastic actions as offering domestic partner benefits, advocating civil rights, inclusion of homosexual persons in their diversity statements, or promote some form of Free Speech or church/state separation.
"Since all of these organizations have an Internet presence, we have determined that it would be easier to just boycott the entire Internet than try to selectively identify each and every one of them," Wildmon said. He also noted that if current trends continue and good Christians hope to remain true to other Christians, then their choices of entertainment, government, and consumer goods & services will be limited to a miniscule few who still retain the AFA's dogmatic biblical world-view. Wildmon used Afghanistan's former Taliban regime as an example of how good Christians should conduct themselves, mentioning that "...[the Taliban] had the right idea, but they unfortunately worshipped the wrong God, and he lifted the veil of protection for them."
Pat Robertson, on hearing the remarks, was quoted as saying, "I concur completely." Jerry Falwell could not be reached for comment due to being in a vegetative state. The Pope, on hearing the news, had a bowel movement. Peter LaBarbera from Concerned Women for America admitted that they, in fact, had no women members except Ann Coulter, and her membership was still being debated.
Wildmon also noted in a joint presentation with Concerned Women for America and the Family Research Council that they have declared the personal computer and the Internet to be tools of Satan and his playground (respectively), and refer to e-mail as the messenger of the devil himself. Each of the organizations said they will be dismantling their Internet sites soon.
James Dobson announced a joint effort to petition Congress to shut down the Internet as the Internet was not what the Framers had in mind at the writing of the Constitution when they discussed free speech and freedom of the press. Dobson noted that liberal "activist judges" had read into the Constitution a right to surf the web and say pretty much any damn thing you want.
Wildmon mentioned that they had considered boycotting God for even granting humans a free will and for creating homosexuals in the first place, but admitted that such an action seemed kind of "contradictory."
