More John Safran vs God
Sep. 30th, 2005 02:07 pmOn to disc 2. I must say he's certainly an equal opportunity taker of the piss: no-one goes unscathed. In the Pagan department, there was an unusually subdued item in which Safran participated in an Asatru remembrance of the dead. I assumed at the time that he figured the loonies in costumes would be sufficiently amusing in and of themselves, especially the *lf-obsessed lady in the knitted Norman helmet; possibly his raising a cup to the memory of a departed rapper was an attempt to generate comedy, but failed, since the Vikings knew and admired said rapper. Anywho, the bloopers give the game away: the Pagans were just boring. Safran's cameraman reckons the only way they'll have a story is if they actually kill the *lf-lady. For exciting Pagan weirdness, he really needed to participate in a public spiral dance, although I think ultimately the quest for hilarity would always be defeated by the Pagan inability to take ourselves entirely seriously (with the exception of that loony Alexandrian
sheramil mentioned, who's ripe for satire.)
