Fr Crunk


dUSt

Recommended Posts

I'm contemplating a new way of delivering weekly meditations, reflections, etc.

There's new technology out there that allows a site such as this to create a fictitious character and have them talk and move like a real person, right on your website.

My thought is that this "Fr Crunk" will be featured on the phatmass homepage, and every week he'll deliver a message for reflection. These can be taken from other writers, priests, saints, etc. I would be able to make Fr Crunk say whatever I wanted, and it would be like watching a video of him speaking.

Here's what he'd look like:

Question: Would anybody take about 5-10 minutes every week to watch Fr Crunk's message?

Crunk?
I'm not sure I'd pay much attention to somebody whose name reminds me of Lil John.
But otherwise it sounds like a good idea.

How about Fr Phat?

There's only one concern...will it be clear that it is NOT really a priest...I mean, that the words aren't, either? Otherwise, I would worry it might fall under the automatic excommunication for impersonating a priest.

Father Phat wouldnt be as tight as Fr. Crunk. How about Fr. Dope? Fr. Crunk wins all though.

whoa raph, don't take it too far dude . He's a cartoon figure, dUst explained that he'd just read some quotes from other people or do some devotions and use this image of a priest to do so. He's not tricking us and I dont think many of us would think that was a real priest.

i have a chatter-bot on my pc named Rome
he's pretty much a knuckle head

they take too much time to program from my view
but - if you wanna give it a go, God bless - have fun with it

you are not gonna get excommunicated for Fr. Crunk . . . you all are a bunch of ninnies . . .



Oh and DuSt, phat idea . . . except that he looks a little like a buddhist monk . . and if you call him Fr. Phat then it will even sound chinese and look buddhist . . .
