Zippies - a living, breathing hoax that refuses to die!
The Zippies have made a come-back, this time as a story about a Digital Jesus! The original Hear Come the Zippies "hoax" started by Wired Magazine to publicise the, the worlds first online newservice, hotwired, was killed off when, live, breathing, walking and talking Zippies arrived in America and started arguing about intellectual property, and more specifically a record label started by Fraser Clark.
Some people just didn't want Peace, Love and a fair Prophet. So they conspired against the universe, to stop the tour and even voted the story, one of the top three worst stories of the decade. Then the hoax made an appearance in India, a decade later, followed by swift US reaction against the threat of outsourcing and Zippies.
Who better to convert those evil Zippies to Christ than the Baptist Church which started an outreach programme, and the ads on this page!
So we thought, since we don't seem to have any control whatsoever over events, we would create a Digital Jesus courtesy of Google!
Look out for Silicon Mary and a Virtual Joseph, coming soon!
