Hah! Everything Is Terrible dredged up this video of Charlton Heston narrating a cartoon version of the story of Abraham and Sodom & Gomorrah. It loses absolutely none of its creepy factor or God’s utter assholery in being sanitized for children.
I have a vague recollection of having seen this (or some other episode in the series) on TV early one Sunday morning, but I don’t know if this is some kind of post-hoc explanation for a recall failure associated with… Cam Clarke? Is that who’s voicing the younger Abraham here, or am I imagining things?
Also, I can’t help but think “You maniac! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn yourself to hell!”
Yup. Can’t but think of the same exact thing.
They think this is sanitized enough for children? It’s gruesome and disgusting. Says something, doesn’t it?
Yahweh is a real jerk.
Disgusting.
Oh, did I mention the tite? “Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible”.
This is one of the GREATEST.
Ugh. What a nightmare!
Thank you for sharing this post.
I wanted to share a video with you, I think you’ll appreciate where it’s coming from as much as I do.
