Jesus’ General: “God hates AT&T, MCI, Verizon and homosexuals

Thanks to the hard work of the Christian men at the FCC, God’s word is finally being heard on the radio. Earlier today, I was scanning the dial when I came upon something being broadcast on the French station that made me holler hallelujah.

A man named Eugene Mirman was talking on the telephone to a sales rep for a Christian communications company. She told him that the best way to destroy homosexuals is to sign-up for her long distance plan. That way, she assured him, he wouldn’t be contributing to AT&T, a hard-core porn peddler; MCI, a purveyor of child pornography; or Verizon, the choice of homosexuals everywhere.

You can hear a recording of the call here (mp3).

Remember, remember, the fifth of November.

“Why fans make better Star Wars movies than George Lucas.”

Brewster Kahle, a man who made the vision of BiblioBytes look small. And Wikipedia, the folks who brought the vision of Douglas Adams to life.

Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio, the guys who wrote some of the smarter pop-culture movies of the last decade, have been writing a bunch of columns on their adventures in Hollywood and the art of writing. Read them and you’ll learn even more from their failures than from their successes.

And finally, the best post I’ve seen on retail politics in months. And this is why I’ve said that if they wanted it, either Jon Stewart or Oprah Winfrey could be the next President of the United States.

Notable Quotes – Yahoo! News: “‘Ours is much hotter because VINCENT PRICE is not as hot as me and ELISHA CUTHBERT.’

–PARIS HILTON comparing the remake of the horror film ‘House of Wax’ with the 1953 original, in the New York Post.”

I think the reasons Paris Hilton got hired for this film were A) to make people think Elisha Cuthbert was a great actress in comparison, and B) because there’s a real market for people who want to see Paris Hilton die a gruesome death.

Turning off comments

We’re turning off comments in order to do some obviously necessary maintenance. Bear with us… we’ll have them back on as soon as we can.

UPDATE: We’re back, and even found some old comments that never went live before. Post away.

Boy, that wasn’t fun…

As many of you surmised, we had major site problems here. We were unable to post, our spam blocking was disabled and we were unable to delete comments, which led to us turning off comments altogether lest we get swamped.

We’re in the process of cleaning up now, which required some herculean efforts by the good folks over at Hosting Matters. Bear with us all while we straighten this out.
