Pastor John Hagee plans to open Holocaust theme parks if his Six Flags takeover offer is accepted.
New York - A consortium led by Pastor John Hagee has announced a tender offer for 51% of the outstanding shares of Six Flags Inc (NYSE:SIX) headquartered in New York City. The consortium, operating as ShoahTime International Inc. announced it's intention to convert the 21 amusement park chain into a series of Holocaust theme venues. The exact terms of the offer were unavailable at of press time.
"Our Six Million Flags theme parks will provide fun wholesome family entertainment while hammering home the Holocaust message of six million Jewish victims" Pastor Hagee stated at a New York press conference.
"Our plan is to recreate the entire Holocaust experience from Krystalnacht to the liberation of the death camps to the bombing of the King David Hotel. Every park will have it's own Auschwitz, all the trains within the park will be cattle cars, and the refreshment areas will be set up like the Treblinka station. We'll even use temporary IBM tattoos instead of tickets." Hagee stated.
"All 21 parks will be highly visible with their millions of flags fluttering ." Asked if the parks would actually display six million flags, Hagee said "There will be a million or more, that's for sure. What's really important is that we get the impression that there are six million flags. It's the number six million that really counts."
Hagee said he hoped the deal would finish in time for the parks to open before the Rapture vacated the corporation.

Time is catching up with the Holocaust survivors and negotiations have started with Germany on adequate compensation for the plight of being the offspring of Holocaust survivors.
As some countries still live with rigid democratic structures it will be necessary to mobilize democratic support for such compensation payments footed by their tax payers.
Therefore, it is vital to ensure that the new generation of tax payers will learn about the Holocaust at the earliest possible time in order to internalize the experience and to make sure that it will never be forgotten.
At the same time there is very little risk to offend survivors who are few and who stand to benefit from a token part of the profits of the parks with their restaurants, souvenirs and their "Holocoasters".
That satire seems outrageous, but reality seems "normal"?
For example, it may seem outrageous for Hagee to open "holocaust" theme parks, but if he actually does that, the public won't see it as outrageous.
Good satire, Claymore. Today's satire is tomorrow's reality.
I just hope we're not giving ideas to these creeps.
