bush fish




last night at drinking liberally we were talking about the bush fish. the remarkable thing is that the bush fish site is not a parody. as the site hawking the fish explains:
This symbol, this site, and this car magnet have been created for the millions of Americans who support the President and his vision for a government that embraces religion, morality, and family values. It shows worship to the Lord, respect for the President, and hope for all.
actually, the fish looks to me like it represents worship for the president. i mean, the word "bush" is replacing "jesus", or at least "IXOYE" (which means "fish" in greek but also is the initials of phrase Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter, i.e. Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour.)

why do i find this a little bit frightening?
