		<description>Never mind. Even though it&#039;s supposed to be free, they still want me to hand over my credit card info. I&#039;m not falling for that again. I&#039;m still waiting for that deposit from Mrs. Obuto from the Ministry of Finance at the Bank of Nigeria.</description>

		<description>Jim, 

You can get it FREE from Brother Danny Davis.  On his broadcast he said FREE (yes you can hear the caps) about 18 times.  I almost called him.  It was really funny.  At first I was wondering if it was a parody... but he&#039;s not.

As for the type of oil, I don&#039;t know.  It was some dreadful and slightly scary red color (I think that&#039;s because it&#039;s Blood of Jesus No Evil Oil).  I think by all means you should go to his website and get yourself some.</description>

		<description>I got a completely different e-mail in my inbox Tuesday from someone else who claims to be behind the video. He even provided a video to try to support his claim. But unless I get better evidence, I decided not to run with it. It looks like the other long list of bloggers who got CC&#039;d on it decided the same thing.

Until the real Donnie Davies stands up once and for all, I think we&#039;ll find a lot of people trying to take credit. One of them will be right. I just don&#039;t know who.</description>

		<description>The hoaxers have finally come clean...

-----Original Message-----
From: Donnie Davies [mailto:donnie@lovegodsway.org]
Sent: 05 February 2007 20:00
To: ChazAntonelli@yahoo.com
Subject: Response for direct inquiries to Brainfood about Donnie Davies


Hello,

You have correctly discerned that Brainfood provides services to the Donnie 
Davies project. We are providing this explanatory letter to people that fail 
to get the joke to the degree of directly contacting us or, in some cases, 
illegally attempting to disrupt our system services.

The site is indeed a hoax. Donnie Davies and his ministry are a cartoon of 
forces at work in America that we feel are destructive to the Nation&#039;s moral 
compass and the integrity of community spirit. We do not condone the practice 
of demonstrating at the funerals of America&#039;s fallen soldiers and we do not 
subscribe to the belief that gays and/or lesbians should be rounded up and 
placed in death camps. We perceive these views to be disgusting and 
anti-American. We also recognize that America must be tolerant of dissent to 
preserve our Liberty and our way of life. The Donnie Davies project was 
created as a mechanism to electronically excite protest, ignite discussion 
and seed key phrases that would alter search results we view to be strategic.

Everyone is a critic and everyone will always have an opinion about how things 
could be done better. We weighed the situation very carefully before we 
entered into this because we knew that a certain amount of confusion was 
necessary to provoke sufficient discussion. Before our campaign, searching 
Google for the phrase &quot;god hates fags&quot; returned unadulterated hatred 
slandering our soldiers, our country and the GLBT community. We have now 
provided a message that people can hopefully laugh at. We believe meeting 
hate with more hate only increases hate. Comedy has a fighting chance of 
diffusing the situation.

For myself, personally, I got involved with this project because of Alan 
Turing. Alan was the scientist who designed the world&#039;s first computers in 
order to break the encryption used in Nazi submarines. He was a hero. After 
the war he was imprisoned for being gay. You can read more about him here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_turing

That is our story. We regret if we have caused you emotional harm. We 
understand that this explanation may not suffice and that you may view our 
enterprise as misguided or malign. We felt otherwise and we acted. Supporting 
us, whether you believe in us or not, is part of being American.

Best regards,
Team Donnie Davies

		<description>Oh, I need some of that. I can keep it with the &quot;Agua Milagro de la Virgin de Guadalupe&quot; miracle water we keep in the guest bathroom.

No Evil Oil.  Is that olive or canola?</description>

		<description>Just one more comment about Donnie Davies.  I was wondering where he got the name.  But then last night I happened onto a program on the WordNetwork featuring Evangelist Danny Davis.

Brother Danny Davis was pushing his Blood of Jesus &quot;No Evil Oil&quot; which had been prayed over for 17 days and could be used to rid your dwelling of the demons of poverty, witchcraft, and sickness.

I wonder if Brother Danny Davis was an inspiration.</description>

		<description>I guess that should be tennis racquets to be precise. But I forgot the anti-soy ray guns that detect and eliminate the harmful and often hidden impact of soy. And don&#039;t forget Electroshock Man who has incredible powers of reorienting his targets.  

Well I am sure if you explained the context of your guffaw, your coffee neighbors would completely understand.</description>

		<description>Tennis rackets!  I laughed out loud in this nice, quiet coffee shop.  Now people at neighboring tables think I&#039;m nuts.
