Yes, I know I'm an ass.
Feb. 26th, 2007 06:02 pmThis website is just ten varieties of hysterical. Even more so because they're dead serious. It's something like a hundred pages of pure hilarity, of which I had time to read two or so. (Yes, I am just going to go ahead and assume the other 98 are ludicrous as well.)
I'm flattered that they've singled out several of my favorite artists for standing against everything fundamentalists stand for (or just BEING SATANIC!!!1!1!!!)--it must mean they're GOOD. You know, sing about LIFE? LOVE? Emotion and the bad and the good? Yeah, I thought so. I should show up on your nice picket-fence surrounded lawn with a mix CD (David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, everything else that's good) and a copy of Hermann Hesse's Demian for your kids, and some black-light activated condoms just to freak you the fuck out. It will be the best thing to happen to them. I just may be their liberator and save them from a miserable adulthood of tepid marriage and guilt over their "sinful urges" to, you know, look beyond the fundamentalist Christian facades of life. I can say that some of the most gentle, good people I know are devout rock fans, likewise with Christian, Jewish, etc. Likewise, of the same groups I know just as many dishonest assholes. This isn't a deep revelation to anybody with a brain or a speck of life experience, but apparently you guys do not get it.
Were I religious, I would find it insulting that there are people who associate everything that is hedonistic and esoteric and carnal with that which is "evil" and should be avoided. It seems like an awful insult to a Creator who can create a world of such magesty and complexity.
Oh, and I found a copy of The Watchtower lying by Jamba Juice. Of course, I was too curious to leave it. Example: "If all people were Jehovah’s Witnesses, who would commit crimes?" I'd get started on the multiple fallacies in this statement in particular, but I have other things to do. Pick apart a leisure, see above, etc etc. Discuss.
I have something like fifty-kajillion articles to read for work; I know I'm going to get sidetracked hopping all over the internet linking from one hot-word to the next. I'm nerdish like that. This stuff is (and all sarcasm is suspended) fascinating, beautiful, complex, sheer natural artistry in motion.
I finally saw Hannibal Rising. It was almost exactly like the book, verbatim (makes sense, as Thomas Harris wrote the script), with a few notable changes in the interest of time constraints. Of course the younger Hannibal Lecter oozes sex.
