Agape Press and the case of the invisible vagina

Pam has made me not only laugh out loud [1] but also pay a visit to Ex-Gay Watch [2], not only one of my all time favorite political blogs, but one of the first blogs I reviewed back when I used to publish my TypePad metablog, the now defunct Typepadistas.

[via Ex-Gay Watch: "Vagina" A Dirty Word Over At Agape [3]]:

A recent article over at the Agapepress about the Vagina Monologues did not once spell out the full word "vagina," instead substituting the letter "V" on every reference to the play. I was curious what other words might have slid past the AgapeCensors in past articles:

Sodomy, as well as Sodomize
Anal Sex
Vibrator
Orgy
Rimming
Penis
Sex Club as well as Bathhouse
"gay.com"
And lastly my personal favorite, Gay Bowel Syndrome

Go read the whole thing because all these words have links to other articles and Google searches. It makes for a fun read.

What is interesting about places like Agape Press and such is that they exist due to the assumption they are the only conservative presses out there. The extremists have been pouring billions of dollars into businesses dedicated to cultural production. From Agape books, to the Heritage Foundation and even mainstream projects like The Chronicles of Narnia, the production of culture is absolutely important to them.

The assumption that mainstream media is controlled by homo-loving liberal and the left-wing moonbats is just that, an assumption. The world of Hollywood and publishing row here in NYC is just powered by money and profit. It's that simple. The likes of Agape, on the other hand, are powered by ideology. Makes for a whole different kind of investment and returns.
