What does this mean to you?

Driving down the road today I say a church with a sign that read:

"Have you tried a little Salem lately?"

I will freely admit that, due to my own personal prejudices, I tend to assume the worst when it come to organized religion but it seems to me that this sign is condoning witch hunts and encouraging people to take part in them now. I have been thinking about this for several hours and cannot come up with any other explanation.

Is there any other explanation that you can think of?

Maybe they want to start eating black cats.

I think it is an advertisment trick that worked because it got you talking about their church and wanting to know why they would say that. Or maybe I will go with the black cat thing too :-)

I thought at first that the church might have a creationist with an engineering degree doing the noticeboards

but then I figured they were just using the old short form for 'Jerusalem' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem.

Very Obscure.
