Oh god, this idiotic Good Omens petition is one hell of a mess

Every now and then, the internet spits out a burst of awe-inspiring incompetence of such quantity, and such thoroughness, that it can be frankly difficult to buy. “Surely,” you find yourself thinking as you traipse your way past carefully cultivated mistake after mistake after sheer, un-repentant fuck-up, “Surely, someone is pulling my leg.”
And yet, as far as we can tell, a recent petition—20,000 signatures strong!—asking Netflix to cancel Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens on the grounds of its religious impropriety (God being voiced by a woman?!!) appears to be genuine. Meandering, off-topic, and frequently inaccurate, the Return To Sender campaign against the book—which we’re not linking directly to, because a) Google exists, and b), fuck ’em—is of such committed dopery that you might almost miss its most baffling quality: Good Omens doesn’t run on Netflix; it’s a god-damned Amazon show.
