Publications,
Appearances & Publicity!
Television, radio, press
and movie appearances for either Jesus Dress Up or me.
| Let it not be overlooked
how offensive Jesus Dress Up is to the American mainstream,
and how incredible it is that it's even gotten ANY attention
at all from it. The fact that Urban Outfitters had my magnets
on their shelves for even a day still baffles my mind. Anyhow,
I hope you enjoy this section as much as I enjoyed living it. |

2001
One of the first big mentions I'd ever received was in this Alyssa
Milano issue of FHM magazine. I remember it was a coworker of mine
that discovered it on his lunch break, and he dropped the issue on
my desk in front of me just like you see in the movies when the person's
name is the morning headline. FHM gave JesusDressUp.com a raving review
as one of the best places to go on the internet for a fun time. They
were the first major publication to give me the time of day. After
that my webpage started becoming a news item. |

2001, December 15th
Mancow Meuller has a popular show in Chicago for jocks and meatheads.
His people emailed me pretending that they were all into the site,
but I knew better. Everyone in Chicago knows that not only does Mancow
suck, but another part of his act is pretending to be a good Christian.
I got a lot of other radio shows after this one wanting to interview
me, but no word from Howard yet. I'm not holding my breath for that.
You can read more about the Mancow interview here. |

Chicago's
Daily Harold gave the American Atheists a hard time for inviting
me to speak at their convention on Easter 2003. |

One of my favorite magazines, The Face, featured my magnets and they
even went so far as to tell about my shananagans with dressing up
as Satan and running around Manhattan with my Unholy Army of Catholic
School Girls. Fun! |

And then everything changed when NBC
Philadelphia did a story on my magnets. I made hundreds of sales
off my site, other news affiliates picked up the story to run along
side Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ stories, and a few days later
Urban dropped my product from their shelves (March 17th, 2004). |

Then MSNBC picked up the story and the magnet story appeared on
MSNBC Countdown with Keith Olbermann! Keith made the comment about
it not even being possible for Jesus to wear men's brief's until
1952 when they were first invented. Wise guy. Click

But my favorite publicity from this whole affair was the protesting
on the streets publicity! Nothing made me happier than to see them
out in the streets in front of Urban Outfitters waving down traffic
and holding their signs. Read about at TFP.org.

The
Washington Times did a story on the whole Urban dropping my item
and the controversy that followed with protestors and my site getting
shutdown by the religious right. It was crazy! |
 |
2004, March
Then I got a phone call from Comedy Central's Tough Crowd with Colin
Quinn. They wanted to feature my magnets on the show. It was a great
show with guests Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), Greg Giraldo and
Kathy Griffin. Click

My favorite press is the religious press. That's when I know I'm doing
somethin' right. This is what ChristiansUnite.com
had to say about Urban Outfitters and my kooky magnetic game. |
 |
2004, March
The
Catholic Standard Times made my day finally being the first to
give me credit for Jesus Dress Up, even talking about my Unholy
Army, God
Is Fake pamphlets, even my personalized Dress
Up Revenge page! Needless to say they only had negative things
to say. It's a fun article. |

2005
Then one of the greatest things ever happened. I was asked to be part
of a film about 7 different Bob Smiths, each of us more bizarre than
the next. Bob
Smith, USA is one of the funniest movies you'll ever see, featuring
me, my magnets and The Unholy Army of Catholic School Girls! |
