Not to mention how retarded this sentence looks: Christian Pop Punk.

Forgive me for being intolerant, but that is the gayest musical genre I've heard of.

Congrats homophobic Christian Pop Punks, you are now one step closer to those you so despise.

Clearly, they're doing a pretty good job of making satire obsolete.

Not the point of view, but the way they're strung together -- heavy on the huh? factor.

These guys flunked English.
