Because I Haven’t Posted For A While Link Post

Just some random stuff I came across:

  • From the director responsible for Fast Food Nation comes a touching tale of saving Christmas. Saving it from what? Why, greedy corporations, of course. Check out What Would Jesus Buy? Based on the real life story of Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping.

  • What’s better than the Bible? Why, the Bible rewritten in LOLCat, of course. I have been trying to think of how to describe ever since I came across the news of this “project.” Blasphemous is the first thing that comes to mind, followed quickly by disturbing and very sad. I first heard about it from a post on A Little Leaven. Check out the post and comments for some good insights. (For those of you not familiar with the LOLCat “phenomenon”, count yourselves lucky. For the insatiably curious, spend a minute or two here for the lowdown.)

  • On a related note, Tim Challies has a review of The Death of the Grown-up. This sounds like a really good book that I will put on my (long, long) list of books to be read. It is incredible how much adolescence has been put up on a pedestal and adulthood is shunned.
