Hendrix make way for His Holiness

Saw this on the ol' Game Wire yesterday and initially dismissed it as a "well of course they are going to come out with that." But then I thought about the staggering number of not-as-good-as-sectarian products out there that try to be as cool as their non-holy counterparts, but always fall squarely into the "lame" category.

Which made me think about all of the great marketing slogans for the #1 product for the family afraid of popular rock:

"Just like Guitar Hero, but irritating after 20 minutes!"

"Shred with the Blood of the Lamb"

"Guaranteed to Disappoint at Christmastime"

"Like Rock Band for Canadians"

"Rock and Roll will never die... but Live Eternally in Paradise"

"For those who love to Rock an appropriately reserved amount"

"Christ had 12 Roadies, why not you?"

"Rock 'n' Roll for the Masses"

"Now with 100% less coolness"

"Rock so hard you'll resurrect the dead!"

"On Christ the solid Rock I stand, all other guitar-based rhythm games are sinking sand"

"If it's too loud... then you're probably right, I'll turn it down."

I feel like I could keep going at this for days.
