Did You Know? Broccoli Is the Anti-Bacon
Who knew there was a Holy Church of Bacon? Great URL, by the way: worshipbacon.com. Its members, who practice "baconism," have their own cosmology—one in which broccoli is the Anti-Bacon.
It surprises people to learn how dangerous broccoli can really be. Here's what a leading doctor had to say about it: "Oh yes. One of the deadliest plants on Earth! Why, it tries to warn you itself with its terrible taste." —Dr. Hibbert, PhD.
Broccoli poses a grave threat to the Holy Church of Bacon and all Baconists. When tainted with Broccolian evil, a piece of Bacon is forever tarnished and should never be placed within one's orifices.
The Holy Church of Bacon site is set up as a wiki, which lends it a false air of seriousness that plays perfectly into its satire. I love the "See Also" links on the Broccoli entry: "blasphemy" and "Four Centaurs of Healthfood" among them.
