Holy communion with Doritos and Pepsi


Apparently some churches are furious about this ad. I don't understand why. If holy communion is only symbolic then does it matter what substances are used? And if you believe in transubstantiation and actually believe you are drinking the blood of Christ at communion, well I guess you are entitled to believe but it sounds pretty sick to me.

The Chinese have a funny definition of porn.

The Chinese government recently censored over 60K website for 'pornographic' material. Apparently in China anything the government doesn't like classified as pornography. It's scary how now governments of western democracies want the power to censor the internet as well. Our masters are jealous of the power the Chinese government overtly wields over their subjects. Our job is to stop them before it's too late.

Sometimes positive thinking propaganda makes me positively sick. Every year I hear all about peoples new year resolutions and how this year is going to be 'different'. Oliver Burkeman makes an excellent suggestion for handling new years resolutions.

If you've made any new year resolutions, steal a march on the rest of the world by abandoning them today, rather than waiting a week or two for the moment when everyone else's will inevitably collapse in a quagmire of failed hopes, self-reproach and packets of Pringles.

You could follow this link and read the rest of his advice for some realistic ideas on how to make a better life. Positivity is rarely helpful. No matter how bad your life is it can always get worse. Thinking positively won't protect you from the consequences of your actions. Being realistic is far more productive.
