The original Star Trek series was a groundbreaking science fiction show because of imaginative plot lines and innovative, unique characters.

I don’t think the same thing can be said about the special effects. Just watch the video and see what I mean. Hilarious.

Local Lutheran Minister Loves To Fuck His Wife

This may be my all-time favorite Onion article. It tells the tale of a Lutheran Minister and his wife, Emily, and their exploits in the bedroom.

Favorite quote: “Emily is a good, kind, Christian woman,” Snowdon added. “But let there be no mistake: She is also one furious fuck-mama, as well.”

I’m an Ask a Ninja fan. It’s consistently hilarious in it’s own silly way.

Why is it funny you ask? 1) because Ask of Ninja never breaks character, and 2) he will eventually threaten to kill someone no matter what the topic. Just take a look at this interview he did with Will Ferrell and Jon Heder for “Blades of Glory.”

I hate to bag on a dead guy, but Reggie White, the great hall of fame defensive end for the Eagles and Packers, made one of the great speeches of the last ten years before the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1998.

White, who was a minister also before his death in 2004, spewed out many stereotypes and bigoted comments in his short speech. Most of them were so moronic that they were laughable. In fact, I doubt Eddie Murphy in his stand-up prime was better than the late Mr. White. Here’s a sample of some quotes from that speech alone: (As an Asian, my favorite quote has to be that “they can turn a television into a watch.”)

“As America has permitted homosexuality to establish itself as an alternate lifestyle, it is also reeling from the frightening spread of sexually transmitted disease. Sin begets its own consequence, both on individuals and nations.”

“White people were blessed with the gift of structure and organization. You guys do a good job of building businesses and things of that nature and you know how to tap into money pretty much better than a lot of people do around the world.”

“In the process of history, homosexuals have never been castrated, millions of them never died. Homosexuality is a decision. It’s not a race. And when you look at it, people from all different ethnic backgrounds are living this lifestyle, but people from all different ethnic backgrounds are also liars and cheaters and malicious and backstabbers.”

“Hispanics are gifted in family structure. You can see a Hispanic person and they can put 20 or 30 people in one home. They were gifted in the family structure.”

“When you look at the Asians, the Asian is very gifted in creation, creativity and inventions. If you go to Japan or any Asian country, they can turn a television into a watch. They’re very creative. And you look at the Indians, they have been very gifted in the spirituality.”

Any fan of this blog (I think there’s one) knows my love for Rainer Marie Rilke’s poetry.

My favorite poem by Mr. Rilke’s is Archaic Torso of Apollo. Like many Rilke poems, it explores the affect of art over the soul and sexuality. But unlike most Rilke poems, Archaic Torso of Apollo challenges its reader to see the beauty of art and be inspired by it. It exhorts you to change your life.

Archaic Torso of Apollo
by Rainer Maria Rilke
Translated by Stephen Mitchell

We cannot know his legendary head
with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso
is still suffused with brilliance from inside,
like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low,

gleams in all its power. Otherwise
the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could
a smile run through the placid hips and thighs
to that dark center where procreation flared.

Otherwise this stone would seem defaced
beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders
and would not glisten like a wild beast’s fur:

would not, from all the borders of itself,
burst like a star: for here there is no place
that does not see you. You must change your life.

I just found this terribly informative article on tencommandments.com. Here’s a snippet (note, the spelling is the sites, not mine):

“Now do you realize who the people are who are responsible for children having gotten so violent? The answer is ATHEISTS and other non-beleivers in the true God. So you may ask how can this be? The reason why they are responsible is because they hate God and teach their children against God (which is the highest form of child abuse). For example: Atheists hate the TEN COMMANDMENTS because God is their Author. In the TEN COMMANDMENTS, God commands all mankind not to kill, not to steal, to honor our parents and so forth. Since atheists hate God and His Commandments, they teach their children and the children they have authority over against God and against His commandments. There is no other morality other than God’s Moral Law. God is the Author of all morality. Since atheists teach children against God’s morality, they have to in turn be teaching them to do the very things God says not to do.

Some of the many ways atheists are doing this are through anti-God and anti-moral parental attitude, violence in the movie and music industries, anti-moral attitude on the web and etc. All the anti-God and anti-moral attitudes found in these fields come from atheists and other non believers.”

It all makes sense now. Because they don’t believe in God, atheists are immoral heathens and could anal rape you or kill you at any moment because they have “anti-moral attitudes.” So the next time someone says they are an atheist, run for your fucking life, unless you want your ass to hurt or you want to die.

And I didn’t realize that the only children who were violent were non-Christians because their parents hate God and make them that way. I know my parents were always promoting murder, sex with multiple partners and extensive drug use when I was growing up. And they were just Buddhists. Imagine what atheist parents must be teaching their children. Oh the horror.

Ever been to a hockey game and two guys just start beating the crap out of each other? Doesn’t the crowd go crazy?

That’s because hockey fights are so much fun to watch. They are crude, graceless disasters, the complete opposite of a kung fu or matrix-style action scene. It’s usually two huge guys trying to throw as many punches at each other before they get tired and can’t throw anymore. It’s our sanitized version of the Romans watching Christians getting eaten by the lions. Unless you count UFC. And I don’t.

Anyway, here’s a list of Maxim’s favorite hockey fights. Enjoy.
