If Common Sense Was Used in Government and the...
Citizen: I don't believe in abortion.
Government: Then don't get one.
Citizen: I don't believe in birth control.
Government: You don't have to use it.
Citizen: I think gay marriage is a sin.
Government: Don't marry the same sex then.
Citizen: I want my kids to learn about creationism.
Government: Take them to church.

Hey Parents Television Council,
bobbie-mcgee:
If I were a parent I’d rather my children see a chorus of M.I.A. holograms giving the finger while Lil Kim performed “How Many Licks?” in Janet Jackson’s nipple plates and Sinead O’Connor ripped up a picture of Tim Tebow than ever see another commercial comparing women to shitty Italian cars.
The Discordian and the Two Wiccans
Once there were 3 pagans who had gathered together to do invocations. The first two were Wiccan, while the third was a Discordian. They planned to take turns performing invocations, each according to their own traditions.
The first Wiccan did an invocation and began to tremble. Then he spoke in a strange voice, "I am the hunter and the hunted. I am light and darkness. I am birth and death." Then he collapsed to the floor. A few moments later, he regained consciousness. The first and second Wiccan were impressed that they had received Ancient Wisdom.
The second Wiccan did an invocation and began to tremble. Then he spoke in a strange voice, "I am the hunter and the hunted. I am light and darkness. I am birth and death." Then he collapsed to the floor. A few moments later, he regained consciousness. The first and second Wiccan were impressed that they had received Ancient Wisdom.
The Discordian said that she might try to invoke her deity if her deity felt like it. But she did not tremble. She did not speak in a strange voice. She did not even collapse. Instead, she just laughed and laughed in her own voice. The two Wiccans glared at her. "You lack the solemnity needed to do proper invocations," one of them told her. But Eris, who had filled the Discordian, just laughed and threw pop tarts at them and danced out of the room and giggled, "You can't tell a goddess how to behave."
At this, neither of the two Wiccans were enlightened. Possibly because neither one of them liked pop-tarts.

I like pop-tarts.

Just so I’m clear: Misogyny in advertising on TV is totally okay. Violence on TV is totally okay. Encouraging people to self-diagnose mental illness on TV is totally okay.
Flipping the bird on TV, though, is totally not okay.
Is that pretty much it?
Okay, that’s what I thought. So, allow me to just say something real quick here, okay?
For fuck’s sake, America, it’s not the 1950s...
Dark Dungeons
A brother recently admitted that he had used magick in the past to get his parents to buy him a Vampire: The Masquerade book.
My response? “Jack Chick was right!”
Read the entire comic book for true LOLs.
Just submitted an article about online dating...
Me: Even I have allowed myself to feel pressured to follow through on [online] promises before.
Spouse: Well we all have. But I feel fairly sure you’d draw a line at some point. Quite possibly with a dropkick.

Don't read this if blood & sex bother you
Dream last night. Sure it means something. Am upset by it on a number of levels.
Cast of characters:
A: A male friend, with whom I used to have a “friends with benefits” relationship. Still a friend. We ended things on odd albeit not unfriendly terms. Long story.
B: The woman he’s seeing now.
C: A woman he dated well before me.
As it so often is the case, I don’t...

studentactivism:
Forty-six years ago one of America’s highest ranking law enforcement agents launched a secret campaign intended to blackmail the country’s most prominent civil rights activist into committing suicide.
That’s not a theory, it’s a fact. And once you know that, it gets a lot harder to dismiss other people’s stories of shadowy government goings-on.
Comments about baby pictures
A colleague at the office sent us some baby pictures.
Coworker 1: Ha! Seems like if he could talk he’d be saying, “Just give him an offer he can’t refuse…”
Coworker 2: Yeah, when in reality, he’s probably pooping.
Coworker 3: To be fair, it kind of looked like Marlon Brando was pooping during that line, too.
There's nothing wrong with sex, people.
- Having sex every day. - Saving sex for your wedding night. - Never having sex. - Having sex with different people. - Having sex with one person. - Having sex with a person of your same gender. - Loving sex. - Hating sex. - Being loud. - Being quiet.
The only thing wrong with sex?
When it’s not consensual.
Because that’s not sex. That’s rape.
