She Looks Like a 60's Superhero Who Fights Bummers

I know Vice (magazine) is a total joke for the most part, but for complex, deep-seated reasons beyond the scope of this post, I find the Do/Don't pictures like crack. [NSFW often]

Can't. Stop. Clicking. Next.

The captions are often pretty good too. For example.

Or this one.

But then I started reading the comments below the pictures and it slowly dawned on me that the assholes who write the captions are a) totally gross themselves b) homophobic to a point that's embarrassing and c) perhaps being über-meta-ironic. I started to look at each "Do" as an actual "Don't" (and vice-versa). (Go on, try it.) Now I don't know what to think. Perhaps the lesson is to just drop all the critique and quest for 'cool' and just chill.

Then my brain folded in on itself.

Because Religion isn't Divisive Enough These Days

Pope: Other Christians Not True Churches [via myway]

LORENZAGO DI CADORE, Italy (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches.

This is really one of those important reassertions that needs to be made - especially in such tranquil times as this. It's really not enough to just have all Christians thinking that other organized religions are godless cults; what we need is in-fighting between members of the same faith.

Thanks Benny!

CNN: Buy without guilt using new 'Vatican credit card' [video]
Haha, don't leave Rome without it!! That's hil-AIR-ious!
I'm not 100% clear on how it allows one to 'buy without guilt' though.

Seriously, can I just bypass the shopping part and pay the Vatican to absolve me of my guilt?

Oh wait.

-Note: This might have something to do with it.

Again, Yay!

Sorry. Not.

Seriously, this news, and the ensuing commentaries (here or here or here) have brought me a sort of joy that I didn't know I was capable of feeling.

*Before anyone gets up in my grill for being..'evil' - I merely aim to illuminate the moral of the story: Be an unintelligent, hateful gasbag who amasses a fortune from hateful misguided pseudo-religious dabblings in politics, and people will dance on your grave when you die.

That's Why God Made "Spas"

It's almost boring these days to cite an example of the blatant hypocrisy and stupidity that has pervaded the government - I don't even have to dig.

At the risk of sounding crass, this guy is a classA douchebag.

Bush official who promoted abstinence and denounced condoms resigns -- after admitting he used "D.C. Madam's" escort service -- for 'massages only'
