Here I come to save the day! Or the chosen! Whichever...

Yesterday, I'm sitting in my new enhanced (read: larger) cubicle when one of the print production managers comes over with a print sample. Now, this sounds innocent enough, I know. But believe me. It wasn't.

It has seriously changed my life. Whether it's changed it for the better remains to be seen, but all I know is that Bibleman has now found a very near and dear place in my heart. Right next to the bile pipe that seems to be directly connected to my reality tv hatred organ. I don't know.

Now, before you run off screaming that I've been converted, realize that I think this may be the tackiest thing outside of the original Power Rangers series. Actually, if you jump around the web site a bit, I'm sure you'll be quick to agree - it seems that Bibleman's "powers" bear a remarkable resemblance to PhotoShop and AfterEffects plugins.

If you care to know more (and I know you do), here's a quick description of the print sample that I now have prominently displayed on my bookshelf:

First off, this sample happens to be the DVD case (on sale now at www.bibleman.com, and if you act now, you get a Hymnal berating, absolutly free!) that is featured on the bibleman site. Luckily enough for me, the DVD case actually has space for THREE discs. (Sadly, they did not include sample movies.) So, not only are there images of Bibleman striking a very serious pose - probably the same one he gets when he beats the hell out of kids for stealing gum or lying - there's images of what I assume are the bad guys. There's a business-type (of course) guy, but his face is green and his teeth are yellow (probably from the greed); and a scientist-type guy complete with a funny, James Bond sytle monacle.

But the absolutly best part of the whole thing: the copy. I'm not going to quote it word for word, but here's a taste:

"His Sword of the Spirit."
"...Helmet of Salvation..."
"....Breathplate of Truth..."

It goes on and on.

I knew there was a reason I got a job.
