Pastor Burns Grandpa's Collection of Magnum PI DVDs

#1 Post by SouthEastAsiaTX »

"Freehold, Iowa - During a shocking testimony last week, 82-year old, Rev. Timothy Fred Smith, shared with church members the details of his long struggle with homosexuality. "I had a very serious addiction to the smash 80's hit TV series, Magnum PI," he explained. "Before my son, Deacon Fred, burned them all in front of my grandchildren, I had every single original episode recorded on Betamax. Now with the advent of DVD, my son tells me that my embarrassing temptation has returned," said Rev. Smith."

Read the whole sordid story ...

Ahh, yes ... satire. Was wondering how long it would take for the faithful to catch on. However, Magnum is strangely addictive. That part might not be so satirical. But probably not for most because of Selleck's good looks.
