"Yo, listen up Pharaoh you slave-driving inbred cocksucker, you had better let my fucking people go"

[reena_jenkins]

So, over here in New York, today's a school holiday - Martin Luther King, Jr Day. As such, I thought I'd post a bitty podficlet, that fits today's theme of social activism.

(One) Prophet the Lord Didn't Choose to Deliver His People Out of Egypt, written by roga, is a tiny little bit of fic featuring Gabe Saporta (of Midtown and Cobra Starship fame)

You should read ALL the Gabe Saportas. ALL OF THEM. ALSO THE RYAN ROSSES. JUST.

"If they can't handle a metaphor they don't deserve to be delivered."

GLORIOUS. ♥

(also, the music, for some reason the LET MY PEOPLE GO cracked me up every time. PERFECTION.)

Hooray! (If you thought the music was cracky...well, at VBC, there were more verses. The one about how Moses brings the Red Sea down on top of Pharaoh's army and makes them "do the Dead Man's Float", complete with dance moves, is particularly enjoyable.) Also, thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed the Gab. He's....quite a character, huh? ;-)

I have no idea what the heck you're even talking about, but I might listen to this just for the cracky quote in the subject line...

Okay, so this guy
plays Moses (he has dead eyes, swears quite often, and really likes snakes, which makes him kind of terrible as a choice of revolutionary for the Children of Israel). This guy is the Aaron of the piece - he speaks for Moses when Moses can't, in this case because Moses swears too much and isn't exactly PC - and it's funny because he's very fond of metaphors. (The rest of the cast doesn't exactly have a correlation with the "Moses gets chosen to lead his people out of Egypt" story, but they're all in bands, so take that for what you will. I thought it was funny...)

That didn't clear up anything at all, but the quote is still funny.

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous. Let me try to explain it all again? So basically, this podficlet of a retelling of the secon half of the Book of Exodus, casting Bandom people into the roles of the traditional Old Testament folk - with hilariously unhelpful results.

(And, well, "Let my people go!" seems like a similar rallying cry for many different civil rights activists, so this totally counts, too...)
