This is what the Liberal campaign needs

Posted on June 8, 2004 By admin

BUDAPEST (Reuters) – “Boys, if you vote for the liberals, I'll strip,” a girl in jeans and a revealing shirt teases Hungarian voters in a mock advert for the European elections. It was filmed for a joke during the shooting of the liberal Free Democrats official broadcast, in which the girl features, campaign coordinator Gabor Horn told Hungarian news portal index.hu.

The Web site has posted the seven-second clip at www.index.hu/cikkepek/0406/szdsz.mpa.

The short ad is a lighter moment in an increasingly bitter campaign for the June 13 elections in which the ruling party Socialists and opposition Fidesz sling mud at each other.

If you find an Atheist in your neighborhood….

Posted on June 8, 2004 By admin 8 Comments on If you find an Atheist in your neighborhood….


Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children
or they may even try to trick you into neglecting God's Word.

I ended up on this website today: http://objective.jesussave.us/kidz.html, don't ask me how I got here, I don't even know myself.

Man…. I have my beefs with organized religion. I especially have issues with people saying “my religion is better than yours”. Case and point, a quote from the website, when Lambuel asks Habu (an elephant dressed up as a hindu):

Wouldn't you rather have just one God who loves you a bunch than a bunch of gods that don't love you at all? Jesus loves everybody, even the unsaved like [you]

Then you have Professor Giraffenstein, the creation scientist, who says that the earth is less than 10,000 years old and T-Rex was a herbivore (so the Ark's passengers were safe, yay!).

Man, this website is making me violent…. I'm sorry if this might offend some people, it's not my wish, but material like this makes me really, really mad. I'm reading the answer of Herr Professor Giraffstein about who was Cain's wife. Basically, if you believe the book of Genesis, you realize that it's either a sister or a niece. Yay, incest. But it's ok. Incest at that time was ok, because our genes were still in their divine state, before sin got involved and started introducing mutations (boo!)

I'm not making this stuff up. This is quoted from a christian science website:

This means that the entrance of sin into the world caused humanity's once-perfect “genes” to become more and more imperfect with time. Since close relatives have similar flaws, then the flaw would be highlighted and emphasized in any kids they might have. But before sin had a chance to mess things up bad, people could marry a close relative and not worry about the effects to their kids. Once sin and death started adding flaws to a person's genetic code, God in His wisdom made some rules against marrying close relatives. God is SO SMART!

Can't explain something? Say God did it and it's all good. Next question please!

Fuuuuck. I'm going to go bash my head against a wall for a little while now.


Edit: sorry [info]blacksquiggles, I couldn't help it… I found more stuff to rant on.

Why apple computers are sold by godless communist hippies

Original link: http://objective.jesussave.us/propaganda.html

However, these propagandists aren't just targeting the young. Take for example Apple Computers, makers of the popular Macintosh line of computers. The real operating system hiding under the newest version of the Macintosh operating system (MacOS X) is called… Darwin! That's right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While they currently don't advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an “Open Source” license, which is just another name for Communism. They try to hide all of this under a facade of shiny, “lickable” buttons, but the truth has finally come out: Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism.

But is this really such a shock? Lets look for a moment at Apple Computers. Founded by long haired hippies, this company has consistently supported 60's counter-cultural “values”. But there are even darker undertones to this company than most are aware of. Consider the name of the company and its logo: an apple with a bite taken out of it. This is clearly a reference to the Fall, when Adam and Eve were tempted with an apple by the serpent. It is now Apple Computers offering us temptation, thereby aligning themselves with the forces of darkness.

Oh dear lord…

Posted on June 8, 2004 By admin 10 Comments on Oh dear lord…

I've been re-reading the Harry Potter books recently, mostly because the latest movie is out. A few days ago, I ran across a link on FARK about HP fanfiction.

Now I have nothing against fanfiction. I've read some really good stories over the years. These are not some of them… You might wonder why I'm putting up a list then. I just want to share my amazement with all you fine people. You would think that after years on the internet, I'd cease to be surprised at what people will come up with…. Apparently this is not the case.

Here, for your pleasure, are some of the websites I came across while doing a quick googling for Harry Potter Fanfiction:

[info]weasleycest: an LJ community that is dedicated to fanfic involving usually more than one Weasley.

[info]pornish_pixies and [info]erotic_elves: two communities “that hosts nothing but smutty Harry Potter fanfiction and fanart”. The first is slash and femslash, the second is hetero.

http://afa.expecto-patronum.net/index2.html : another weaslycest website. Apparently, it's a popular topic.

http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=14: a listing that points to stories written about ANY KNOWN CHARACTER PAIRING YOU CAN THINK OF! and I do mean any!

Now that's what I call a boobie prize

Posted on June 7, 2004 By admin 4 Comments on Now that's what I call a boobie prize

LONDON (Reuters) – In a bid to lure men in Britain away from TV soccer games and into book shops, publisher Penguin Books will send out a sexy model to offer 1,000-pound prizes to males spotted reading a selected title.

The publicity ploy, launched Monday, aims to boost sales among men, who on average buy fewer books than women.

“It's to sex up the book industry, which probably needs it, but also to address the more serious issue that reading has fallen off the radar of younger men,” said Neil Griffiths, author of Penguin-published “Betrayal in Naples.”

Penguin's so-called Good Booking Girl will canvass the streets this month for men older than 16 years reading versions of Nick Hornby's “31 Songs” that bear a special cover sticker. A different title will be chosen each month.

At the same time, Penguin, a unit of Pearson Plc, released results of a poll in which 85 percent of women said a man could increase his chances of getting a date by talking about a favorite book. By contrast, more than half the men polled said they believed that flattering a woman would suffice to impress her.

An accompanying Good Booking chart of 40 books recommends such lad-friendly Penguin titles as Anthony Burgess' violence-filled “A Clockwork Orange,” Raymond Chandler's noir thriller “The Big Sleep” and Jack Kerouac's beat odyssey “On the Road.”

I got the tired-of-waking-up-alone blues

Posted on June 7, 2004 By admin

I think I caught the blues bug that's been floating around LJ recently. I didn't know you could catch something through your email, but this might be the first computer-human bug transfer in history.

Weekend was boring. Went through the motions of getting stuff done, and I actually managed to get a lot of household crap out of the way. For a while, there was actually no more dishes on my counter. People who have seen my kitchen will understand the impact of that last statement. I was bored to tears, and it seems everybody had plans. It's not often that I feel seriously bored, as I can usually entertain myself pretty well, but this weekend was not one of those.

I'm in a rather shitty mood today, which I think hit its lowest point last night when I was talking to M. When you're moody, talking to someone who's insanely chipper just makes you want to reach out and kill someone. Conversation topics really didn't help either… anyway. I didn't make an issue of it, because I know I'm in a funk and it's not my normal state of mind. Maybe is right and I am PMSing.

Anyway, I should get started on my day.

hohum

Posted on June 6, 2004 By admin

Just finished sanding the second coat of plaster on my kitchen walls. I was smarter this time, and taped the shower curtain to the walls for a tighter seal. I also pinned towels to the bottom of the curtain to close off the foot-high gap between the lower edge and the floor. As soon as the dust settles, I'll go vacuum the dust and clean the walls and I'll be ready to paint :)

In other news, I'm bored as hell. Anybody want to come over for dinner? If you can reach my cell phone, you're invited.

I'm such a dweeb

Posted on June 5, 2004 By admin 4 Comments on I'm such a dweeb

The weekend is here, and this is a good thing. Near the end of the day, I found out that all my weekend plans were shot to hell, which is always fun to learn. I was supposed to go have brunch with Michel tomorrow, but he's gone to Niagara for a few days. Impromptu vacation with his Isa – I wish him fun. Things are going really well for those two, I'm really glad about that. We could have had dinner tonight, but I had eaten a late lunch was uber tired so I took a raincheck for mid next week when he comes back.

Spent a good part of the afternoon writing documentation. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's that. Documentation is the pits, and my brain was leaking out of my ears when 6pm rolled by. Met up with [info]moonlightjoy, who was a bit down in the dumps, for a quick pint before heading home. We had a good chat, which I think did both of us some good (well, it made me laugh, anyway) and then we parted ways. She was going to meet friends at a show, I headed home for a nap.

When I got home, i decided to forego the nap in lieu of a light movie. Since nobody could/wanted to go see HP3, I postponed it for now (cause I really, really hate seeing movies alone and both [info]eniran and [info]moonlightjoy said they wanted to see it, but couldn't tonight). I still felt like a movie though, so I indulged in a Sherlock Holmes flick I bought this week. There are 5 movies in the DVD set, and I watched the first one tonight, The hound of the Baskervilles.

I've always loved Sherlock Holmes (remember the book project), and I've read all the canonical stories, as well as many others. I'm a serious Holmes trivia addict too, so seeing the original movies was so good :)

And btw, Jeremy Brett as Holmes rocks :)

Elementary, my dear Watson :D
