God's early folk period

Feud with Rival Baal
During these early years of God's prominence in the transatlantic Rock world, the tabloids heavily covered a feud between God and American Folk-Rock singer Baal Nelson, who had been the top-selling Folk artist in America prior to God's fame. Baal's lyrics on his single Golden Images were widely seen as a challenge to God, and the two apparently exchanged heated words whenever they played festivals together, even causing a fight to break out among their fans after God challenged Baal to a battle of the bands, which God handily won. The feud eventually came to an end when Baal's sales declined and he found himself in bankruptcy, after which God purchased all the publishing rights to Baal's songs. |

| When pressed by journalists, God has expressed desire to do one final album in the "Jesus" concept series, but has never said when he might undertake such a project. Some fans suspect that Second Coming has already been recorded and that God has simply decided not to release the album yet. A core group of fans even claims that this album has been planned all along and that clues to its release date can be found by interpreting certain obscure lyrics in God's other recordings. |

The "Death" of God
While God has been no stranger to scandal over the years, perhaps his most famous media moment was the fake reporting of his death, which was arranged by God's record label as a publicity stunt. In the summer of 1885 God removed himself to seclusion in the countryside, while his press agent Friedrich Nietzsche spread rumors that he had died. Nicea even went as far as to release a post-mortem compilation of God's greatest hits. When God returned from the desert in the fall, the charade crumbled, but it did succeed in boosting sales of God's albums for a time. |

According to the site- the is a "native South Korean".
Perfect timing for this thread- I have been reading it to my daughter's family, as my own attempts to explain Korea have really failed to do it justice.
Funny stuff! |

I fooled my whole family with this one- they were convinced it had to be the Uncyclopedia- it could not be true.
Mith- is this wiki posting yours? (the post about fan death?)

Here's a fun holiday game: Wikipedia or Uncyclopedia?
No fair clicking the link before you make your guess.
Fan death is an urban legend that was originally primarily confined to South Korea, but has spread to other countries in the Far East. The legend states that an electric fan, if left running overnight in a closed room, can result in the death (by suffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia) of those inside. This belief also extends to air conditioners and the fans in cars. When the air conditioner or fan is on in a car, Koreans are apt to leave their car windows open a crack to avoid "fan death".
The article goes on to quote a newspaper article:
The heat wave which has encompassed Korea for about a week, has generated various heat-related accidents and deaths. At least 10 people died from the effects of electric fans which can remove oxygen from the air and lower body temperatures....
Make your guess: is it Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death) or Uncyclopedia (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Fan_Death)? |
