In a move that harkens back to 15th century Florence, Italy, a church in Jacksonville opted to set alight a mass of vintage adult films discovered at a drive-in they’d recently acquired. The house of worship conducted an exclusive rite to destroy the X-rated celluloid.

Christ Church Anglican’s recent investment, the Playtime Drive-in yielded more than just a dilapidated concession stand, but a pirate’s booty of 70’s and 80’s reels that were discovered where the hot golden flavoring used to live. None of the films were viewed by Rev. Mark Eldridge or his personnel.

With titles like, Kinky Business and Private Teacher, it was clear that the flicks weren’t abandoned bible study material. The Reverend dedicated a service to destroying the offending material with pyre and requisite “holy hose-down.”

Luckily, Jacksonville Fire and Rescue were on-hand to supply a fire truck sanctified by the Rev. Apparently, the footage tainted the ground;

Eldridge claimed to his 300-member congregates, “To have a piece of property and take it from unholy to holy is awesome.”
