I think you might have missed the point? It is an illustration of the ridiculousness of certain theist arguments. Russell chose a teapot (rather than, say, a rock) because it is something that is (almost, to a negligible probability) certainly *not* orbiting the moon and yet we cannot prove that it is not and *never* will be able to. The flying spaghetti monster tries to do the same by conjuring up something yet more ridiculous and yet more 'undisprovable'.
