Eternal Earth-Bound Pets is an atheist-operated business that will rescue and adopt ("save") the pets of those who are called to heaven during the Rapture. They charge $135 for the first pet and $20 for each additional pet. And the best part is, all sales are final and no refunds honored, for any reason. From their web site:"If subscriber loses his/her faith and/or the Rapture occurs and subscriber is not Raptured (aka is 'left behind') EE-BP disclaims any liability; no refund will be tendered."Wait, I was wrong. The best part is, they already have 259 clients, which means they've made at least $35,000. I'm sure they'll sucker--I mean, comfort--plenty more between now and Saturday May 21st, the latest alleged Doomsday.
From the AFP article via Yahoo News:
When judgment day happens, Eternal Earth-Bound Pets co-founder Bart Centre "will notify all of our rescuers to go into action and they will drive to the homes of anyone who's signed a contract with us, pick up their pets and take them home and adopt them as their own, keeping them happy and healthy for the rest of their lives.I can't stop laughing about this."This will happen only if and when the Rapture happens. So we do not expect to have to do anything on Saturday," Centre told AFP.
I just wish I'd thought of this.
ReplyDeleteNext time the rapture is about to come along, I think we can make a killing in related "insurance."
From the Los Angeles Times:
ReplyDelete"Bart Centre, the New Hampshire retiree who runs Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, said he simply wants to make a buck.
'I saw dollar signs, because no one has more pets per capita and more rapture-believing Christians than the good old U.S.A.,' he said.
His business is not incorporated in any state. Centre said he simply reports the income on his personal tax return."
