My first crack at a Sketch...

'WestBoro Baptist Church Advertisement'

By

SCENE 1 - INT. CAMERA ZOOMED IN ON GODS EYES - EYES ARE MOVING SIDE TO SHOW THE VIEWER THAT GOD IS READING (IN AN AMERICAN COMMERCIAL TYPE VOICE - SIMILAR TO HONDA ADVERTS)

GOD:
(Panting fast, then slows down and begins talking) Hi there, I'm Fred Phelps' father, the head of Westboro Baptist Church; and I'm here today to make a simple, but important request. Do you often misinterpret meanings? Do you hate minorities - particularly homosexuals? Do your views contradict many of the main preachings by the Christian church? -

WOMAN:
(screeched) I'm warning you! (followed by a whip noise)

INT. CAMERA ZOOMS OUT AND SHOWS THE MAN TO BE GOD SAT ON A CHAIR - THE CAMERA THEN FOCUSES ON HIM FROM BEHIND, ALLOWING THE VIEWER TO SEE THE AUTOCUE AND THE FILM CREW - HIS HANDS ARE TIED TOGETHER.

GOD:
(Moans in agony then breaths deeply) Do your friends call you delusional? Misinformed? Ignorant? If so - don't fret. It's the people that general society don't want - that we need. So why not come down to our next picket at St John's Church, Alabama, and make some new friends?

WOMAN:
(ahem)

GOD:
(looks annoyed - but soon smiles for the cameras) Where we will be hurling abuse at evil men who died for this (looks uncomfortable - then coughs) fag supporting country.

WOMAN:
Ok, that's a wrap. Take care of him

MEMBER OF THE FILM CREW:
You mean?

WOMAN:
(Nods) - Make sure it's slow and painful

SCENE 2: BLACK SCREEN WITH WHITE WRITING - WWW.GODHATESFAGS.COM

GOD:
(Voice-over - very quickly over the black screen) Terms and conditions apply - you may experience social exclusion, aggressive strangers, an increase in fanatical thought processes and an expensive cardboard bill. (back to normal talking speed) I'm God, and apparently, I hate fags.

Not really a sketch as such, just mocking a group of people I despise.

It's a nice idea and you've written the content in a convincing style, but it needs clarity as to how they got to God, why he was vulnerable, and that it is God and not a fella who looks like portrayals of God- maybe you could address God being generally portrayed in the image of those dominant in society and they think they've got God but the real God, looking entirely unlike that, is pissed off? There also needs to be regular laughs throughout, maybe by hurrying up the pace and addressing a variety of bible/interpretation contradictions?

Thanks for the feedback!

I've just thought of a beginning 'kidnap' scene. I don't really want to uncover 'GODs' identity until the camera zooms out though... In my eyes, it's what makes it funny.
