So this past weekend, on my way to enjoy a day at the beach, we drove past a church who was having their annual congregation gathering (a.k.a. carnival where people spend tons of money on tickets so their kids can play numerous games and win a goldfish while mom and dad drink beers). While church carnivals have always made me raise a brow, this particular church carnival site had me fuming.
As we passed a local Catholic church in Osseo we saw a HUGE blow up slide that was suppost to be a replica of the Titanic. REALLY?! Seeing dozens of kids standing in line to slide down this sinking ship while they scream with glee made me want to puke. Number one - what jack ass created this inflatable "joy ride" and thought it was funny? Number two - what company executive decided that this was a good product to produce? An number three - who in their right mind would rent this? A church of all places.
Way to take a historical tradgedy and turn it into child's play. What next? Maybe a burning World Trade Center inflatable for kids to jump out of? Get real people.
