Strange Cult Contributes to Japanese Tourist Economy

The Japanese tourist economy has recently been bolstered by the activities of a strange new cult who consider Mount Obama, a Japanese mountain, to be a holy site because it shares a name with current United States President Barack Obama. The cult, which has most of it's adherents in Germany, was inspired by a prophecy contained in the communications the deceased rapper Easy-E made through an Ouija board about the first black president of the United States. They believe, among other things, that Obama will be the president of the United States until the end of the world (which as we all know will come in 2012), that he is the intermediary between man and "the Ancient Ones", that he will never die, that he can fly and shoot lightning bolts from his fingers, and in continuously smoking DMT. President Obama, when interviewed said that "I'm not going to deny that I'm a god. People have the right to believe whatever they want, and even though I am, of course, a Christian praise God and believe that Jesus is lord hallelujah, I'm not going to try to take away the beliefs of others by saying I'm not the messiah."
