The anti-gay preacher who insists Starbucks uses semen of gay men in their lattes tweeted a parody video of him saying he is gay.
James David Manning recently has become something of a YouTube religious icon – and not in a good way. The Harlem-based hate pastor first gained notoriety for claiming that “Jesus would stone homos.” In July the sign outside his ATLAH church and day school proclaimed, “All churches & members that support homos cursed be thou with cancer HIV syphilis stroke madness itch then hell 1 Cor. 6:9.” In September, it announced, “When the homos bullied the poor and needy in Sodom like they do in Harlem, Jesus fire and brim-stoned them.”
But Manning’s fame of late comes from his repeated insistence that “Starbucks is taking specimens of male semen and putting it in the blends of their lattes.”
That claim propelled him to Internet infamy – and not in a good way.
Now, the Harlem hate pastor has become the subject of a parody video by Australian humorist Adam Reakes, who runs the Herd Mentality Podcast.
The three-and-a-half-minute animation – more cleverly-edited than a James O’Keefe exposé – features audio from Manning’s own YouTube videos.
And Pastor Manning, for some unknown reason, has tweeted it to his more than 4000 followers.
The Independent suggests Manning “mistakenly” tweeted it “accidentally – or at least without actually watching the entire clip.”
But perhaps he just likes the attention.
Regardless, Reakes’ video puts Manning’s beliefs exactly where they belong – in an animated satirical cartoon, where Manning is, as in real life, a parody of himself.
