Just a heads up on the ebaumsworld link. In case you didn't realise, ebaumsworld steals content from throughout the internet and rebrands it as their own, refusing to acknowledge the original authors, and making money out of it at the same time.

That ebaums prank. Was a little funny. But then it started getting frightening. I think the girl was getting pretty scared too.
None of your links about religion are about argument based on reason or science. Insult and ridicule may make a person feel superior to someone else, but no one needs to worry about such things influencing anyone. You may get some laughs from the cheerleader section.
Ok, so the parents said some ugly things and as a progressive Jew I cringe at their response. But I have to say, intermarriage is an extremely sensitive issue that I don't think people in the majority culture appreciate. It is actually less of an issue for the Orthodox, just because they contruct their communities in such a way that it just doesn't happen often. Among the other denominations, though it is a major concern.
I totally sympathize with Lev. I for one wouldn't want my daughter dating a greasy, border-hoppin' Messkin or a citified, money-grabbin' Jew. Hell, them Indians (dot-head, not woo-woo), they's off prayin' to umpteen gajillion different elephant gods 'n such. Whut the hell kinda retards'd do a thing like that? Hell, the woo-woos, too -- difference bein', they're poorer than me ('sept the gamblin' kind). And sweet Jesus save me if she were to lie with one a them you-know-whats. I'd be liable to start relearnin' my sailor's knots, if you know what I mean. Don't worry, Lev, the majority culture appreciates exactly where you're comin' from.
About the Jewish parents prank: funny, and scary. i have no doubt that these people are truly caring and loving parents, but their daughter does not belong to them, she belongs to herself, and if she wants to be gang-banged by a whole Italian soccer team, it's none of her father business (though i agree she should not tell them!).
This is a very trivial comment but I do miss the links being called "Links with your coffee". Any chance of a return to the old moniker?

The prank is fake.
