As a youth it was a way to share faith in I guess a "cool way." I do see the point a bit now. I do think that things have gotten considerably worse since those early days. I never saw the BudWiseUp one etc.or some of the others. Although I love puns and although I like taking something of the devils and turning it around, I see the other side. Too often it is just to make a buck and I do understand how one can think it irreverent.

Now, if we could only get the Christian T-shirt companies to realize how much they're cheapening the name of our Lord when they rip off every popular secular phrase or advertising slogan, we'd actually be getting somewhere. Unfortunately, someone, somewhere, is going to buy that "Jesus Got 'R Done" cap or T-shirt, and as long as that is the case, those companies are going to keep churning them out. How many of you own a "Lord's Gym" T-shirt? That was one of the most popular designs when I worked in Christian retail. Unfortunately, I didn't have control over what was stocked in the T-shirt area (or the "Jesus Junk" bins either). One of the worst I ever saw was a Budweiser ripoff. It was the same design as the popular beer logo, but the letters had been changed to "budwiseup." Now, I must confess, I like to have fun with puns sometimes, but that's just stupid. Phil,

To me any discussion involving our Lord should not be so frivolously conducted. Of course I "get" the point. I just feel very uncomfortable in seeing this irreverent (however unintended it may have been) song title being lampooned in this manner because it only worsens and perpetuates the original offense. Possibly some are only concerned with the unprofessional title. My main concern is the lack of reverence we show a thrice Holy God.

I went with "Osama" because "Got R Dun" just freaks me out. You're right about one thing though, there ain't no song like a Mama song!
