Idolator
Today is the official launch of GodTube, the hardcore Christian alternative to YouTube, and if you've got a strong stomach/high tolerance for amateur rap songs about the apostles, it's an alternative universe worth checking out. Music-related clips, already a big part of the site's draw for potential users (500k a month, according to the Billboard article ) and already a large portion of its uploaded content, range from the mildly entertaining to the outright embarassing, which basically makes it a lot like regular YouTube. But the clips can also be educational:
"[666] has become so closely associated with contemporary music culture that rock journalists frequently use it as shorthand to represent the industry's obvious commitment to rebellion, sex, chaos, and, well, evil." I bet you didn't know that conservative Christians also thought Gina Arnold was evil. Plus the user comments are as entertaining/poorly spelled as heathen YouTube, if a little more Stepford Wife-y and less prone to tossing around racial epithets and the f-bomb.

No Steve Taylor videos, no credibility.
That's right Dan. After all these years, I still want to be a clone. (To you non-cult-members -- move along, nothing to see here.)
Is that upside-down pentagram an ironic gesture, or am I missing something?
thank you for pointing that out Nonce!
