Jay Cole and his son,
Jay Cole, Jr. are popular
television personalities in
Fayetteville, AR. These two are
preachers, and they buy up
30-second
commercial spots on the local
teevee stations in order to
preach the Word to the general population. What they don't
get is that it's
impossible to get a point as
big as
Christianity across in only 30 seconds, so they both end up sounding like
idiots. Even though
I am a Christian, I find these guys hard to
tolerate.
They take the
basic Baptist preacher format for their 30-second
sermons. This entails a
greeting, three
points, and a
conclusion. The greeting is usually something like, "Our kids are seeing
horrible things in the
news these days." The three points are usually
unrelated, which makes this
duo even more
incoherent. The conclusion is always, "I'm Jay Cole" or "I'm Jay Cole, Jr." depending on which one it is. I would prefer something more like
Wesley Willis's "Rock on
Phoenix! Rock on
Chicago!
Pepsi, the choice of a new
generation!"
