This amateur production, Kissing Hank’s Ass, is one of the best allegories I’ve seen for a while. Funnier than Waiting for Godot, although less literate. Bordering on, but not quite getting to sacreligious. I believe this short play will become a classic as silly as it is. (If you do not see a screen appear below, then the YouTube server is obviously swamped — a bad sign for the future of THAT website.)

Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

Horrible production values, and after the first minute or so, the gimmick wears thin.
Geez Paul..do you not like anything? Since when did the right lose its sense of humor? I mean really — loosen up.
Poorly produced and a little too long…but spot on. Irritating to the true believers, I’ll bet. Nobody asked me, either…
Marc, interesting site, the Church of Reality is. You wrote that “God apparently doesn’t reveal himself to realists like me. God could reveal himself to me – but he chooses not to.” But is that really so? You know something that only you know– no one in the entire world knows it. THAT is God revealing something to you. ONLY YOU are privy to it. You glance it over when at the same time you ruminate in your Mind.
Sorry I don’t share the nay sayers criticisms. Sure, it was very shoestring budget, but that is OK. It is a good effort to mock the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and about time too. I am very tired of this whole Pasta Over thing. Everyone in their right mind knows the sauce goes over the pasta.
It was funny, but the premise is wrong. The skit is built on a misrepresentation of Christainity. Hank doesn’t give people a million dollars. Rather the man at the door has done wrong and is on his way to jail. Hank pays his fine, and the man would get to go free. The man at the door can accept the gift of freedom or choose to go to jail.
After being set free he of course would be thankful and may indeed “kiss Hank’s Ass” but not for the million dollars, but out of thankfulness to having his fine paid.
The truth obviously not funny, but the jaded stereotype of Christian doctrine hilariouly so.
