 Not long ago, many celebrities got together to make a PSA for the "Be The One" campaign, urging people to sign a petition to save the Gulf of Mexico on the website RestoreTheGulf.com (very similar to the government's website at RestoreTheGulf.gov, which might have caused confusion). This all seems good, until you look at the fine print and dig below the surface... Which is what DeSmogBlog did.

SWAGFACT: The great man loves low-fat banana-flavored frozen yoghurt! I know, because in 1988, I asked the 'man' who worked behind the counter at the Zak's Frozen Yoghurt store right next to Swaggart HQ in Baton Rouge what the good reverend's favorite flavour was.
"Banana!" he replied, without a slightest hesitation!
Praise be! |
