Lindsey in Texas acknowledges that these are probably supposed to be rays of light, but it sure does look like quotation marks. Maybe they are trying to communicate that if you come in the church, you won't actually be crucified. It's just a symbol, folks.
Oh, Texas, what will you do next?
ReplyDeletewhen i was in college, there was a group on campus called Jews for Jesus. maybe this is where they meet.
ReplyDeleteThis is completely the most bizarre misuse of quotation marks--or "shiny rays" to signify awesomeness--I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant.
ReplyDeleteThis one wins.
Maybe it's a religious organization devoted to worship of the letter "t."
ReplyDeleteChristian Texans: secret fans of the parisian electronic duo Justice? Sure looks like it.
ReplyDeletecame across your site from another blog (http://www.walrusmagazine.com/blogs/2008/02/15/lets-get-low-low-low/) and it took me a while to figure out the connection between this site and her link here, later realizing that it was written in an appreciative nature... but anyway, i didn't realize that people could use the quotation marks so unnecessarily until i came across your blog... thanks for pointing these out!

ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's sacrilege, but I want to see someone cross themselves, then add air quotes...

ReplyDeleteI... I...
ReplyDeleteI got nothing.
But seriously. This needs to be in the greatest hits.
OMFG! My co-workers must think I'm MAD because I've been giggling for at least 2 full minutes. Definitely hall of fame material!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I love this one!
ReplyDeletehow do you say that? it's like The Religious Establishment Formerly Known as Church.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely needs to be a greatest hit.

ReplyDeleteI would occasionally see marks like this, complete with alleged quotation marks, scrawled on various places in or near the New York City subway.
