Buzzfeed Gets Schooled by Reactions to its Mormon Missionary Parody

[Third Hour]

Just last week, BuzzFeed published a new video poking fun at Mormon missionaries and mission life. The video follows "Elder" Alan and "Elder" Dunning for a day as they do normal missionary activities, such as street contacting, tracting, singing hymns, and teaching lessons. As expected, BuzzFeed delivers a wide range of jabs and jokes, from commentary on the Word of Wisdom, to the Church's views of the LGBT community, along with plenty of door slamming. Because the video contains vulgar and offensive content, we are not putting it in this article.

Remember folks - I dumpster-dive the internet so you don't have to.
