Seems he was sent to the Leonardo this morning for the Dead Sea Scrolls/Judaica exhibit there, and proceeded to mock it relentlessly.

In his weight loss surgery video, he was shown without a shirt on. He had tattoos all over his stomach. But mormons let Polynesians have tattoos, so I don't know.

Mormons seem to allow (or at least look the other way) in terms of Polynesians doing whatever they like, as long as it can be explained away as "part of the culture". One is left to wonder if the King of Tonga has pictures of Spencer W. Kimball in "compromising positions".

I don't know - he seems like a nice guy. But I have enough Buddhist friends to find his nickname insensitive. How long would Giant Jesus last on TV? As long as Big Budah?

Now I have to wonder if any Utah news program would allow "Big Allah" to mock a Mormon history exhibit at the JSMB.

(Of course, I don't really need to wonder about that.)

Hard to say, being a polynesian I would bet that he at least comes from LDS background. Polynesians though, seem to be pretty laid back about Mormonism and most seems to have had the stick removed from their ass at an early age.

My son goes to school with one of big Buddha's kids. My son said that he is a Mormon.

Any stories you wish to share????

I take it his Fox 13 act is just that...an act?

A little less nice in private??

I hope to go see the dead sea scrolls at the Leonardo.
He can mock them all he wants, but they are HISTORICAL counts, as opposed to the BoM.

The dead sea scrolls document someone named Jesus, whether Jesus was the mythical person portrayed in Christianity or not, it is a record of someone writing about "this person"


The only record of people writing about Nephites and Laminites is Joseph Smith himself..

Mostly, he just has a huge sense of entitlement. He thinks he's super famous, and everyone should know and love him. He and his "entourage" are very shallow and showy.

I believe I can confirm this! I got to be on TV with him once in 2011, and his smiley, jovial personality is just for show. I was told by several Fox 13 folks to not talk to him unless he speaks to me.

If Im not mistaken he mentioned omething about he and his family being moromn before his surgery and his shirt off wasn't posing for a nude magazine, it was, to help people. Also, there are too many judgemental people looking their ose down on someone. I once heard "When you point a finger in someone elses's face.........THERE'S 3 POINTING BACK AT YOU!!!!!!

Why do people feel this need to drag up old threads from the past and comment on them, thereby resurrecting them briefly, especially when they weren't that good to begin with. I actually caught myself responding to a thread I had commented on three years previously.
