In a world where we're plagued by consumerism and where Johnny Depp is starting to show his age, we wonder - is anyone still doing anything worth writing about?
YES.
Remember weekend at Bernie's?
Apparently some genius assholes decided to try to commit robbery...with a corpse!
Kudos for the creativity.
Because I'm too lazy for plagiarizing today, check out the original NY Times article HERE.

We're All Going to Die
First - Happy New Year! If you're..into "time."
I went through my junk e-mail folder from my work account, and I found an email sent on Christmas day from my own work email account. Odd, I don't remember sending myself a holiday greeting via email. So what's inside? It's a bunch of HTML jargon with war ramblings and religious outlooks. But if you post the HTML, it's an ad for Valium. Neat. I still don't understand why any of the other text was even included. Subliminal email SPAM messages?? I'd rather listen to records backwards, but maybe that's a personal preference. This is what it was after I cleaned up all the "hey, buy valium!" and spam blocker HTML:
This article approaches
a subject that needs a lot of public
people who support war in the Mid East.:
In this sentence -- the author sums it up well.
"....And in a strange sense, war is kinda good and peace is kinda bad
-- since war is a sign that the end is near and peace on earth is a
sign of the Antichrist. Any Christian who doesn't agree with all this
is deceived at best and a heretic at worst...."

Troubling Worldview of the 'Rapture-Ready' Christian
by Bill Barnwell
When the subject of the "end-times" comes up, many Christians and
non-Christians don't want to talk about it. Some Christians, annoyed
with all the competing theories and terminology just say, "What
difference does it make? Jesus is coming back and I just need to be
ready" Non-Christians just assume that since Christianity isn't true,
then the whole issue doesn't matter. Well, actually, it does matter. I
will submit that the popular doctrines of the Left Behind series pose
very real threats not only to Christianity, but also to the wider
culture.

Hello Everyone,
I caught a quick headline on the news last night about
"Evangelical Climate Initiative", where they said that the Evanelists
got together and decided something to the effect of"God made the earth
and it was a sin to pollute and destroy the earth, and we need to do
something about the greenhouse gasses and climate change." That was
all the news really had to say.
So I said, that sounds like the Christians are coming around to the way
the old religions have been thinking for years (Hellinic Paganism,
Asatru, Wiccan, Druidism, Celtic Paganism, Native American or First
Nation Shamanism, or any of the other spiritual paths along these
lines).

Yeah, that's it....wasn't I supposed to get some valium out of this?
