Dumb Ways To Die
There are so many dumb ways to die and mankind seems to make a habit of finding them. One result of this is that Melbourne Metro Trains produced a public service announcement video called “Dumb Ways to Die” as part of a campaign aimed at preventing train-related deaths in Victoria, Australia.
Dumb Ways To Die
The song is performed by Tangerine Kitty, who are Ollie McGill from The Cat Empire and Emily Lubitz of Tinpan Orange. And yes, if you’re so inclined, you can purchase this song on iTunes.

The Gecko Loses
In America we make commercials for car insurance featuring: geckos, cavemen, squealing piglets, and strange men behaving badly. That’s certainly one way of marketing automobile insurance but I think we’re not the best at it…
How Romanians Sell Car Insurance
Geiko’s gecko may be cool and and advertising icon, but the gecko loses hands down to these Romanian babes. 😀

A Smoking Hot Future?
Technology advances but people stay the same. Technological advances normally just change the delivery systems for things we already crave.
A New Improved Delivery System?
On the bright side, this could lead to a smoking hot future. 😛

Biblical Marriage
In the past I’ve made some sarcastic posts about DOMA and traditional aka biblical marriage. To continue in that vein here’s an instructional video by Betty Bowers on traditional marriage as defined by biblical precedent:
Betty Bowers on Traditional Marriage Per The Bible
Yes, the video is needlessly harsh, insulting, and sarcastic. It also uses some pretty far-fetched interpretation of biblical passages – e.g., there’s no theological basis for saying Eve seduced Cain; it’s far more likely that he took one of his unnamed in the Bible sisters to wife. That doesn’t, however, mean that it doesn’t contain a number of simple truths about what Yahweh supposed endorses by way of marriage.
Christians, you need to read your Bible; it is, after all, your holy book and, as such, more than worthy of individual study.
In it are many passages that show that Abraham’s God seemed to have little or no problem with many forms of marriage beyond “one man and one woman.” Indeed, nowhere’s in the Bible is monogamy ever explicitly described as a requirement or even the preferred choice.
Divorce, contrariwise, was expressly forbidden in both Old and New Testaments.
On the other hand, the Bible does maintain that same-sex marriage, along with a number of other acts now generally considered OK, is right out, forbidden, and an abomination to be treated with abhorrence and lethal violence.
Remember, God hates fags – though possibly not lesbians, multi-cropping / under-planting, poly-cotton blends, gaudy jewelry, and shellfish. 😛
So, my dear Christian sometimes-allies, have some fun with this if you can. Think a bit on it though; there’s truth buried in any bit of humor, elsewise it wouldn’t be funny.
