Sex sells. It’s practically axiomatic now — if you want to sell anything, sex it up. How do you do that? Well, obviously, in the advertisement world, by adding half-naked women, right? You know, since men — and heterosexual men only — are the only consumers worth targeting. Except, NO, they’re not — heterosexual males …

YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS NOW. Especially you, Pope.
Oh my fucking FSM I love Tim Minchin so fucking much. Play it as many times as you have to, so you understand every word of this song. You might be laughing too hard the first few tries. Then tell me you disagree with any of it!

Recent developments in The War On Catholicism
I use the title facetiously. You know as well as I do that there is no war on Catholicism, but rather an outcry demanding that punishment be meted out for crimes we know were committed and a demand that the organization not be allowed to “punish” its members for their crimes, knowing that no real …

Lane Bryant’s Big Problem

Turns out, I …

Earthquakes and boobs (the religious kind)
There’s nothing I like better than taking the pseudoscientific claims of a religious cleric and proving them to be wholly divorced from reality. I have a bad feeling about this particular effort, though. This one’s going to backfire, it’s only a question of how severely. Don’t get me wrong. I like breasts (being a heteronormative …

Depictions of Muhammad: apparently not that bad?
Matt Stone and Trey Parker know full well that, if they are killed by members of the Religion of Peace, they will be martyrs, and it’s grossly unlikely that anyone would want to give them that kind of historical distinction. But I have to say, the worst part of this whole recent situation is that …
