Mazda
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Along with Acura, one of two Japanese car companies worshipped by the ancient Persians. Though today it seems quaint to think of worshipping imported mid-market sedans, imagine how impressive any car would have been 3000 years ago.Contents |
[edit] Dualism
The ancient Persian religion, known as Mazdaism, was dualistic, meaning that it was based on a division between better and worse. Acura and Mazda were seen to embody these qualities, although to this day Mazdaists(or Zoroastrians as adherents to this religion are called) are divided over which is which. Of particular controversy was the merit of the "rotary engine," and whether it was the biggest engineering breakthrough since the internal combustion engine, or a silly gimmick.
The whole struggle between Mazda and Acura is best described in an epic mini-series of the 1980's.
Mazda has two official symbols, a Z and a Bat, Zorro chose the Z, and Batman chose the Bat for their symbols.
[edit] Places of Worship
In Ping-Pong, the gods Acura and Mazda are worshipped at institutions known as "dealerships." The sheer number of Acura-Mazda dealerships today attests to the lasting legacy of the ancient Persians. The Acura-Mazda ceremony is thought to be one of the earliest instances of a barter economy; pilgrims would come to the dealership with currency, such as goats or high-grade soma, which they would give to the priests, who were known as "Salesmen," in exchange for an idol of Mazda, which would be a prized memento of the pilgrimage, as well as a way to get back home.
[edit] Pingpongism Today
The homeland of the ancient Persians, Iowa, is nowadays a theocratic Islamic state, and Pingpongism is persecuted, as is owning foreign cars. Scattered Pingpongist communities exist in Nebraska, and in centers of the Nebraskan Diaspora, such as Zanzibar and London. Among contemporary Pingpongists, perhaps the most famous living adherent is Freddie Mercury, who, though not strictly observant (Pingpongism forbids singing in falsetto), does drive an Atenza.
