A similar tape exists of Benny Hinn as well. IIRC, KDFW in Dallas was the source of the first set of tapes for each, and while all the farts are added, they're also considered by most experts to be authentic just on general damn principle :-) :-) <I>"Ubba-dubbi-abba-dabba-doobie-doo-doo..."</i> <b>[FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!]</b> <i>"...Praise Jesus!"</i> …It’s Tilton.

At one time, Tilton was the worst of the worst, bilking more old ladies out of their money than anyone ever had—indeed, more than anyone has in the decades to follow. Most of the letters sent in were discarded without even being read; their donations removed, prayers unanswered. Tilton managed to piss off a lot of people with his "Jews in New York" comment on <i>Inside Edition</i>, I believe, and on the following Easter, he fumblingly apologized to his Jewish brethren, to no avail. It was the end of an era. Since those days, Robert Tilton wound up, for a time, on BET, in the middle of the night, seemingly humbled, still begging for cash. One can only hope that his subsequent disappearance from the airwaves is an indication that the world has become a bit smarter, but as anyone who was watching George Bush at the Olympics knows, it prolly just ain't so.

But I kept watching longer than I otherwise would have because I was so flabbergasted that even the dumbest, most senile old widder woman could be taken in by a con man this obvious.

Nothing was better than the KISS record burnings! save for maybe the 'hummina hommina boogita bigita' glossolalia nonsense. One friend lost his entire college fund to Tilton's ministry (what was it... Suburbia[the punk classic not the GenX tripe] that had the same story?) Up until a few years ago, when my wallet was heisted, I carried a Tilton "Prayer Cloth" in my wallet. Although the wallet itself was routinely empty I was always "rich". for you “photoshop” people… this video was making the round in the late 1980s.

The farts used were all of a consistent level of "dryness". After about five of them, I was, like, you can't tell me that I'm supposed to believe that each and every one of this guys bowel expulsions were of the dry and airy variety. No squeakers, hissers, fizzles, blats, wetties, poofs, creepers, bubblies, squisher, or mufflers? How am I supposed to suspend my disbelief and loose myself in the moment? I know that this was done back in the eighties, but come on. Foley artistry was alive and well back then. Low-brow teen movies were a dime a dozen, from what I recall, all of them had at least a few fart jokes.
