A new "twist" on the Bible Theme Park

According to an article on the Tennessean's web-site, the developer of this park has a past career of "developing" other things...namely photographs of the "Pet of the Month" in Penthouse magazine. Mr. Bible-Park...err...Amnon Bar-Tur, used to be a photographer for Bob Guccione's esteemed publication. Maybe he should have had a theme park based on that career. It might have actually passed.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that Rutherford County should shoot this down on the basis of his past endeavors, there are plenty of other reasons that they should shoot it down. I just thought this was hilarious. And I found out about it thanks to Fark!

I would really like to see a theme park back in Middle Tennessee for all to enjoy of any kind without having to drive 4 hours for a family outing.I just hope the right investors and management can pull it off for all to enjoy.

I still can't believe this idiot developer thinks that this venture would be a world class attraction. Maybe a world class joke that Rutherford Co would be stuck with.

"Statement from an article "

("Surely what a young immigrant photographer did 35 years ago to make a living in his first job out of college as a fashion photographer has no relevance to the development of our world-class tourist attraction in Rutherford County in 2008," Armon Bar-Tur said in a statement released the Nashville-based PR firm, the Ingram Group.)

I totally agree!
