Pardon my french, but screw Billy (can I say that without going to hell?). The real thing that sells this for me is the packed-in tracks from George Beverly Shea. Does Bev (as I like to call him) hide his sissy middle name under a bushel? No, he lets it shine, wearing it on his sleave. The guy is nothing less than an inspiration, and it’s a dang shame that kids these days, what with their Skillets and Plank Eyes and Starflyers and Godsmacks can’t appreciate a good songmaster like Bev.
Marketing suggestion: package in one of those candles that smells like Jesus (see Kevin’s blog) so you can listen to Bev and smell the Messiah at the same time. It’s the closest to heaven we’ll get this side of eternity.
Think Different: The God Pod
What if the church explored the same cross-promotional efforts as U2, arguably the biggest rock band in the world? You might come up with the God Pod. Yes, it’s a tongue-in-cheek question, but what if the church really did think outside the box when …
A fitting parody for these Christian [End] Times. But I think it needs a special little light on it that shines. “This little ‘pod of mine; I’m gonna’ let it shine….”
A new concept called the WORDMIX is about to in be launched in March 2005 …. The WORDMIX tracks will be featured on the new GOD POD device …… To hear sample inspirational tracks that may feature on the GOD POD visit http://www.smoothetalk.com/inspire.htm
This is one of the most awesome communication medias to hit the church in the 21st Century.
omg! I wish there was Godpod. for a split second i was thinking ‘omg i definitely need to get this!’ what a huge disappointment! aww
i love my ipod too!
This would have been awesome…in a way. I believed it
and then I didn’t, and then I believed it, and then I didn’t.
Basically…you confused the heck out of me, but it was fun.
Too bad it’s not real. I think a lot would sell, especially if they were pre-programmed with his sermons and with gospel music.
Fun!
I think that it was a neat idea, however I dont like the comments that are supposed to be jokes. Some of them are hurtful, and I really think that your hard work you put in this should have been used somewhere else. i wish i could meet this guy:

Chumpy: we would have some words and then some. let me know if you ever down in the southeast dave you can swing by my house.
Nick,
Iam family with Billy Graham and it would be incredible if there was a way to get a poster like that. Even if you had to make it, we will pay you. I think it would be great to show him. Absolutely hilarious!! You most certainly fooled me until I clicked on the Ipod. Great!!
So, if you could email me so I can give you some more information on myself so you know I am telling the truth. I gave you my email when I sent the first comment earlier. I showed some family and they all said I should try to contact you about the poster. Thanks buddy

‘Eternal’ battery life. Oh yeah.
You are a genius Nick.

I love this! I was actually a little disturbed that I didn’t come across this Billy Graham iPod before I purchased mine! This is a God idea! Awesome
February 9th, 2006 at 1:03 pm
Billy… still a man of integrity…I am glad this was not true.
But it sure looked real and fooled me.

Let us ‘play’!
The Church should think outside the box more and re-vamp its stuffy image. Interesting conversation point, so convincing -well done!
