First off all Christians who claim to be sinless in their flesh are hypocrites, that being said Everyone is making the assumption that the driver is not placing bible tracts in the DVD and VHS cases like Paige Patterson used to do in porno stores.
I know no Christian who claims to be sinless, whether in their flesh or not. Actually I know NO one who claims to be sinless, except maybe my mom, who is not a Christian.
OMG… This is Southern Secrets in Clarksville TN, and the First Baptist Church of Woodlawn. I know the pastor there, and he’s a real fire and brimstone guy!!! This is PRICELESS!!! My Hometown is on the Failblog!! Epic WIN!!!!
I live in Clarksville, too and about peed my pants when I saw this! Were you around when they opend Southern Secrets? What is so funny about it is that all the Baptists were out protesting the opening….ahhhh, gotta love irony!
Wow, I’m from Clarksville, too, and I didn’t make the connection.
But it could be something innocent. At a former church, the youth pastor lost his wallet. Got a call from a woman who had found it, she said he could pick it up from her place of work, she would be working after 12 noon. He got there…it was a strip club. On a major street.
He actually drove around the block, debating about how much hassle it would be to just consider the wallet gone for good, compared to the hassle he’d get if someone recognized his car.
I would assume that since Clarksville is in TN, then most of its residents are either unemployed or work at a Pilot truck stop and have plenty of time to be on the Interwebz.
My pic! I didn’t realize this had made the rounds! I took this about a year ago, yes, it is southern secrets, and I almost had a traffic wreck when I saw this.
This seems like a pretty weak fail. in all likelihood, they probably went to protest by shouting “Jesus is watching you masturbate!” to all their customers. Thats what i first thought when i saw the picture, not “OMG jesusfreak is loading up on porno, what a hypocrite!”
You go in to shout “Jesus is watching you masturbate” and you somehow don’t manage to leave without a six-pack of vibrating butt plugs. It’s just like going in to Costco that way.
Where does it say in the New Testament that masturbation is bad?
I don’t remember Jesus saying anything about masturbation being bad, either. I imagine His advice would be that if arousal is becoming an issue, no pun intended, take care of it, but that excessive attention to such a thing (just like anything else) can become a problem. All things in moderation. “Souls don’t develop because people become distracted…”
I like that saying (supposedly from Gandhi) : “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Now that isn’t to say I dislike Christians: I make it an ongoing effort to love everyone, but I am very frustrated by how many people point Christians’ behavior and God gets the blame. Christians are just as bad as everyone else. That’s the whole idea. We all come short.
Maybe it’s a van bomb sent to blow up ….oh wait, that’s Muslims…
maybe they’re there to knock a stone wall over on gay porn stars….oh wait, that’s Muslims…
Maybe they’re looking for videos of 72 virgins….oh wait, that’s Muslims
Funny how the pukes on here have no problem bashing Christians but for some odd reason don’t feel the need to mock the ‘religion of peace’ that goes around killing people…who mock their “religion”. I wonder why that is?
Oh, that’s right …because one religion’s deranged fanatical a$$holes make another religion’s deranged fanatical a$$holes that much more acceptable and do i really need to bring up people like the Olympic Park bomber or any number of doctor-killing wack-jobs or Meir Kahane or all the carnage and destruction that has been Northern Ireland up until fairly recently to point out how it’s not like violent terrorist douchebags only come from one particular religious group
Anyway, Christians do blow up women’s clinics, and it was a Christian who bombed the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, and it’s Christians who oppose life-saving medical advances in the name of their religion, so bite me.
Wow….so God told Tim McVeigh to do Oklahoma City for his religion?
Interesting that I never heard this before but since you know about all these “life saving medical advances” that Christians oppose….you’re obviously really really smart,and know virtually everything there is to know so could you give me a list of them please?
The blatantly obvious point was that you losers spend your life whining about Christians but never seem to say a word about the people most likely to blow you up at the mall or crash a plane into your building.
Speaking of “whack jobs”, wasn’t the latest abortion “doctor” who got shot at….church? Now THAT is a whack job. And yes, the vast vast vast majority of terrorist douche bags come from one religious group, if you want to deny that…you’re as much of a douche bag as they are.
Town I live in, Hell I think I took this picture. I was driving past Southern Secrets (the store in the pic) a long time ago and noticed the van. I had to get out and take a pic and sent it out to a few local friends. I forgot about it after that. WOW, that’s funny.
Another one of our fine local citizens posted this item on our Craigslist today: “Mid evil sword $40″
(I’d post the link but something has gone wonky in my browser. I can no longer do a right click to choose Copy because only half the box outline shows. Clarksville, TN Craigslist, Collectibles)
I know of something similar to this happening around where I live, that was more along the lines of…
18-year-old son of Pastor: “Hey, Dad – can I borrow the van to run down to the store?”
Pastor: “Okay, son – just be careful driving it.”
Son goes out, rents a few X-rated movies at a local video store, then gets caught (in a dry county) coming out of a bootleggers with a couple cases of beer in the church van, by the cops.
That was about 20 years ago.
Note that some of the biggest hellraisers in the world are the children of clergy – for example, Frank & Jesse James.
LOL i kne that store looked familiar! didnt think they’d have somthing from clarksville hahaha….and for a good second i thought was my neighbors van but that cant b possible if its from woodland lol
This picture is FULL OF FAIL! I’m sure that that van is there b’cuz some God-fearin’ Tennessee man was just makin’ sure that some negro wasn’t spankin’ his monkey stick while watching a beautiful white woman.
Completely understandable and, might I say, a fine American!
*spits tabacky juice on his keyboard*
The shadow seems wrong. The light between the back wheels suggests the sun is behind. But the shadows on the vehicle suggest the sun is on the back quarter of the store.
Maybe those treads behind the truck are grease marks though. Then it would make sense.
Here’s the sad thing my neighbor was driving that van at the time of this picture. SS is a right of passage here in Clarksville. It’s one of the first places you go when you turn 18.
I am wholly uninspired by this.
*facepalm*
I should have put holy, rather than wholly. Ah well.
You’re losing your spirit?
It’s a recon mission. How else will they know the gay agenda if they don’t watch the latest videos?
the potato picker always comes twice
And claims he was just hanging curtains.
he said he was mashing the potato with his banger
Jesus Christ died with a hard-on
Shucks Granny, you missed a good stiff there.
Its cool, I made the second coming
*roffles*
I so wish I’d had some tea just then.
I got the water, who has the bags?
Can’t the adult bookstore be a bookstore for adults?
Why does adult have to mean pornographic
Jesus’ second coming.. not so great anymore..
that is just not right for you to say..or to even joke about..shame on you!
What’s not right to say, or joke about?
Would those be…
meat curtains?
christ can has porno?
thats pretty essential for a pedowagon
I know where this is!
Clarksville, TN. Southern Secret.
It’s downtown. That my hometown. XD
Lmao.
Holy crap that is southern secrets hahaha clarksville, tn is my hometown also good old riverside… many memories
Yup.. Southern Secrets. My hometown as well… St. B really
yep, same here.
Ohhh the hypocrisy…
First off all Christians who claim to be sinless in their flesh are hypocrites, that being said Everyone is making the assumption that the driver is not placing bible tracts in the DVD and VHS cases like Paige Patterson used to do in porno stores.
I know no Christian who claims to be sinless, whether in their flesh or not. Actually I know NO one who claims to be sinless, except maybe my mom, who is not a Christian.
Dammit.
Mom is probably right, too.
I don’t see the fail.
After all, Jesus himself probably needed a little something something to get the juices flowing.
A nail or two ought to do the trick.
He likes feeling those big pr!cks.
nail him and he always gets cross
That’s cos he was expecting a screw.
I don’t blame him for not wanting to hang around then
Besides, I hear he was into the group thing. Like with 12 or more
HAHAHAHAHA!
Come on, people: he died for ALL our sins …
Which was very noble of him. All the more reason he deserves a good p0rn too.
Agreed. For his birthday, I shall buy Jesus a one-yr membership to bangbus.com!
’tis better to give then receive
Fail-blind?
get those potato’s out of your eye
i think you mean “potatoes”
Notice the misuse of the possessive. What does Video own?
*is more focused on meaning of club accessories*
Those are just kids bracelets.
They might also sell pens.
The penis mightier than the sword.
Wait, they’re selling Penis Mightiers?
Only if you’re over eighteen.
“I must ask you…about the penis mightier!”
CONNERY FTW!
Handgrips and nails.
Mouth guards for all your sporting needs.
Maybe it’s a contraction. They sell only one video there and it’s $12.95.
And you WILL contract something just watching it.
I was going to say this is a fail on two levels. But someone who commented also made the mistake of putting an apostrophe in a word she pluralized.
YES, thank you. That’s what I was coming here to bitch about. Glad it wasn’t lost on everyone.
oh, come on, the store’s in tennessee. what do you expect?
Mouse- That is the funniest thing in this reply chain.
There’s an apostrophe fail in the window of the shop, too.
ehehehe
I have not seen the failure or any movie … (
Jebus loves you!
This I know
because the pictures
tell me so!
Road trip!
trip wire
*accidentally onto a potato while climbing through the window*
Turn the other cheek.
But his delight is in the “law” of the LORD,
and on his “law” he “meditates” day and night.
Fail? I don’t know. Any book with as much sex and violence and death as the bible should probably only be read by adults.
So, its an EPIC WIN? Remember, at FAIL blog, there is no gray zone…
Morning NOI.
The church probably owns the building and is just picking up the rent.
… boy.
does he have a slot for late returns?
Yes, it’s around the back.
I hope they can reach it
It’s only a short walk up the back passage.
last time I was there I found a dead rat though, they really should do something about the riff raff that frequent that back alley
at least he is not going after kids…
who do u think he’s gona relieve his “stress” on after watching the videos ….
Japanese love dolly?
More like some poor 9 yr old.
PEDOBEAR…HAS SINNED…AGAINST YOU!
Maybe not a fail. Judging from the size of the vehicle, the church might’ve sent an army to destroy the bookstore and burn its owners.
Cool! Murder and torture are much perferable to the store’s existance!
Murder and torture are also two things Christianity is known for as well!
Just think about the Spanish Inquisition…
ooh! trombone for dummys!
it’s a bible shop and u also get action-jesus there (he can walk over water)
Does he have the Kung-Fu grip!?
No, that would be Martial Arts Moses (with combat staff action!)
*all figures sold separately.
Jesus, lord of adult movies
all things dull and ugly
all creatures short and squat
all things rude and nasty
the lord god made the lot
The fluffers shall inherit the Earth.
WOO HOO!!!!
amen
Pff, “video’s”…oh, wait, the fail is supposed to be from the van…oh, I see.
It’s not the club assessories?
What club are we discussing, anything to do with glowsticks?
Not sure, lets go check it out. But bring any troll clubs you have, just in case.
*packs morningstar and mace*
Don’t forget your Tiger Balm!
(Rave ref)
Ok, what if the church sold the van to someone because of budget cuts and the new owner got some *stimuli*?
If you’re going to rescue sinners, you have to go where the sinners are!
Just making sure theres no one from his church. And while hes at it…
The first failure I noticed in this photo was the grammatically extraneous apostrophe in “video’s.”. Because I am old.
As Dan Quayle will tell you, it should be spelled “videoes”.
LOL! Me, too. The apostrophe bothered me far more than the odd placement of the van.
OMG… This is Southern Secrets in Clarksville TN, and the First Baptist Church of Woodlawn. I know the pastor there, and he’s a real fire and brimstone guy!!! This is PRICELESS!!! My Hometown is on the Failblog!! Epic WIN!!!!

Damn. How many of us from Clarksville are here?
I thought I recognized this as SS and went to Google Streetview for confirmation.
Southern secrets is a Clarksville treasure. We need to support this local business.
I’m a Clarksvillain, too. Now the real question is, how many of us have dated the same skeezy d-bag that used to take us here?
Which skeezy d-bag are you talking about? LOL…
Hell yeah! This is just awesome.
Btw, Carmen, are you still on the LC forums?
I would assume that since Clarksville is in TN, then most of its residents are either unemployed or work at a Pilot truck stop and have plenty of time to be on the Interwebz.

Typical hypocrite Christian.
REDUNDANCY FAIL

Maybe it’s a van bomb sent to blow up ….oh wait, that’s Muslims…

Funny how the pukes on here have no problem bashing Christians but for some odd reason don’t feel the need to mock the ‘religion of peace’ that goes around killing people…who mock their “religion”. I wonder why that is?
Christians got their fill of that during middle ages up until about the 1600’s
Oh, that’s right …because one religion’s deranged fanatical a$$holes make another religion’s deranged fanatical a$$holes that much more acceptable and do i really need to bring up people like the Olympic Park bomber or any number of doctor-killing wack-jobs or Meir Kahane or all the carnage and destruction that has been Northern Ireland up until fairly recently to point out how it’s not like violent terrorist douchebags only come from one particular religious group

The Republican party is a religion now?
*facepalm*
Your ignorance is truly staggering.
Last I checked, Tim McVeigh wasn’t a Muslim.
STEREOTYPING FAIL
OMG….this picture was taken in the town I live in. Should I be embarrassed or proud?
Do a combo. Hold you head down and hold a fist up…
oh wait, that one’s already taken.
Mah bad.
I didnt read every response so I appologize if this was already brought up.
Odds are that the person driving the van was there to hand out Bibles or Tracks or some kind of other faith based material.
Now, while that is probably the case, there is no way to know for sure. But I would bet on it being that way.
Town I live in, Hell I think I took this picture. I was driving past Southern Secrets (the store in the pic) a long time ago and noticed the van. I had to get out and take a pic and sent it out to a few local friends. I forgot about it after that. WOW, that’s funny.
i knew christians were hypocrites.
this picture is a win in my book.
Video’s? Epic grammar fail.

So, where exactly is the middle of evil?? Past Barney, but before Jeffery Dahmer?? And why was there a sword there?
Guess a spell check was just too damned much trouble for an advertisement.
Why doesn’t he need it anymore?
/dun dun DUN
Was I the only person who noticed the apostrophe fail before the van’s owner fail?
No, I did, too.
I’m surprised there are windows on that van.
“Hey, mister, how come your van has no windows?”
you don’t think they were Bible thumping the adult store people and customers?
WOW!!! at least don’t drive the church van to the porn shop.
apostrophe abuse!
Also, spelling fail.
Of course baptists would do that…
What’s sad is that I actually used to live near the church in question. Where they found the Adult bookstore I have no idea.
The church is from Woodlawn Texas, which is in Northeast Texas.
Nope. This is Clarksville, TN and the church is in Woodlawn TN in middle TN.
Oh, then apparently I confused the TENN with TEXAS. Honestly I can’t tell either way with the quality of this picture.
thats right I live in the next county over
hahah, woodlawn is right next to my school
Funny (well, not really) how the Photoshop Accusing Troll is suspiciously absent here.
Yep, no suspicions of photoshops here.
It’s not a photoshop. It’s a sex shop.
*searches for Donkey cane*
hahaha!
I was thinking of saying it was shopped, but the lighting and perspective is consistent in the picture.
It could be one of those TV preachers. A lot of them just want the money.
I know of something similar to this happening around where I live, that was more along the lines of…

I can’t see the bottom of the window. Which of Video’s things is $12.95?
Total fail. Everyone knows there’s no apostrophe in ‘videos’.
You just gave it two!
FAIL!
Heheheh…. Woodlawn……
I got it!!
The driver of the van read “Club Accessories” so that is what he did.
Aww…He was just witnessing to the sinners!
I have been to this store. I remember when it opened in Clarksville TN. There were plenty of protesters from this church protesting.
With any luck this will keep them away from our children!
Looks like it’d be hard to discretely sneak into that place anyway….what with the words “ADULT BOOKSTORE” in 3-foot tall letters!
I think someone stole the church van and went to the book store. That’s whats really funny XD
LOL i kne that store looked familiar! didnt think they’d have somthing from clarksville hahaha….and for a good second i thought was my neighbors van but that cant b possible if its from woodland lol
why don’t people have any concept of when to use an apostrophe? VIDEOS, not video’s. jesus.
Dude that’s 2 failures, One the fact of the bus and TWO the fact it says Bookstore but it has videos on the window i,i
This picture is FULL OF FAIL! I’m sure that that van is there b’cuz some God-fearin’ Tennessee man was just makin’ sure that some negro wasn’t spankin’ his monkey stick while watching a beautiful white woman.
Completely understandable and, might I say, a fine American!
*spits tabacky juice on his keyboard*
I know where this place is I’ve been there before, it’s funny as hell when you’ve been to the places that are on here.
Haha Clarksville made it.
I had to do a double check because I thought I recognized it.
The shadow seems wrong. The light between the back wheels suggests the sun is behind. But the shadows on the vehicle suggest the sun is on the back quarter of the store.
Maybe those treads behind the truck are grease marks though. Then it would make sense.
Here’s the sad thing my neighbor was driving that van at the time of this picture. SS is a right of passage here in Clarksville. It’s one of the first places you go when you turn 18.
“I’ll just use the company car.”
He’s just responding to a Sunday sevrice call requiring the right tool to screw a dozen holes cuz the previous guy prematurely came and went!!!
Familiar bookstore, familiar church van. I knew something wasn’t right after looking at the photo! And I live here in Clarksville, TN lol!!
double fail “adult bookstore” right underneath “videos 12.95″ and the church van
This is the second time i’ve seen this picture. The other on is on a page before this one. Going through 50 pages of failblog at once can’t be good :S
Their there to try to heal the owner…
