NPR's "All Tech Considered" blog on my recently launched project, GodLovesPoetry.com:
On another level, though, GodLovesPoetry is a classic example of a political satire mashup: taking a particular political message and inverting it, physically distorting the message to create a counter-message. The act of redacting the documents subjugates and subsumes Westboro's texts literally by blacking them out, leaving seemingly innocuous bits of words and phrases that go completely against the church's rhetorical intentions. Format-wise, it's not that different from the political mashups you might see plastered on telephone polls around Washington DC by protesters on any given day.
