Here Is The News

Another from Charlie Brooker, seeing as I've just discovered him, and am still waiting for the aura to wear off...


This one is achingly real, and makes you think about the reality that surrounds us.


It's somewhat scary, if you hadn't realised it already...

This guy...


I've just discovered him, a certain Julian Smith, and...


... I reckon you should know about him. He's funny. Funny peculiar. And possibly one of a kind.


Forging his way through the interweb, and good for him. As we're all trying to do, no?


Just that he seems to have found a rich, if totally crazy vein to tap. Bless you.

Gravely Funny

I read somewhere, I can't remember where but it could well have been in one of Hitchen's or possibly Dawkins' books, that there isn't any humour in the bible. Not a jot or a tittle, as it were.

And I think this goes for all religious books that take themselves in the slightest bit seriously, probably just in case no-one else does.

In stark contrast, here's someone who isn't even taking his own imminent demise seriously in the face of foul criticism, at least on the spur of this moment.

Although you can think what you like about the hardly rare vices of smoking, drinking, and the worst of all of course - laughing at biblical bullshit - but at least he does laugh. That's admirable.

Taking Things Literally

You Take Things Too Literally

OK, OK, I'm on a Yoo Toob vid-out, but there's so much incredible stuff out there, once you start, it's pretty hard to stop.

The most remarkable thing about this one is that someone took the time to make it, and of course the excellent ironical satire behind it, driving the point home.

Sweet.

Love this. It's pretty cute.

Still explaining stuff to the afflicted that the rest of us know already, but none the less funny/peculiar for it.

Giving Up My Religion

Giving Up My Religion

Sorry I've been away for so long folks, but thanks for still stopping by.

Just discovered the sweetest little vid - if you're ever wanting the gentlest but still pretty straightforward way of convincing someone to 'Give it up' (religion, not 'for' religion) then this might do the trick.

Beautifully put (I was going to say 'argued' but it's not even that) from a gently spoken man who talks from a point of view I can never share, as I was never indoctrinated in the first place, but his humility and humanity speaks volumes.

It's funny, for a Brit like myself, to hear a Statesian speaking like this, when we have their reputation as a 'God-fearing' nation (lovely), but then again we all know they're not all that lost. The pressure of society can be a terrible thing though.

I Believe In Dreams

Oh yes, I do, folks! Sorry to disappoint you, but spirituality (i.e. having feelings) has nothing to do with boring, blubbering religions, and everything to do with us folks these days.

As any teenager and otherworldly thinker will tell you.

We all like to dream.

By the way, I used to headbang to this waaayyyy back in 1987 I think it was, when I went to a cool hippie / hard rock place during my decadent uni days in Bradford. Those were, indeed, the days. <sigh>
