Isaac Hayes: not dead, just resting between gigs

Friday, August 15, 2008

ISAAC Hayes – music pioneer, actor, author of a cookbook, the voice of the cartoon chef in South Park, oh, and a 24-carat Scientology nutjob – is dead at 65.
Well, not really. According to wacky Scientology dogma, he has moved on to claim another body – or “meat” as the Scientologists so delicately put it.
Said [...]

Good News for Christians about oral sex … oh and threesomes, buggery and masturbation!

Monday, July 21, 2008

WHILST regaling ourselves reading the comments on “Birdshit” Green’s online petition, we stumbled across this intriguing reaction from Malcolm Stinker (No 1,316):
I am appalled by some comments left on this website making out that Christians are a bunch of medieval reactionaries more interested in sticking our noses into other people’s sex lives than in leading [...]

Deep fried Jesus sketch lands radio station in deep doo-doo

Thursday, January 17, 2008

A BRIEF US radio comedy sketch which targeted the religiosity of former Southern Baptist preacher and Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee has landed the station – KCPW, Utah’s National Public Radio station – in hot water.
The sketch began with a woman saying:
And now another Huckabee family recipe leaked by his opponents.

Boo Who! The tears of a clown

Saturday, December 22, 2007

Ladeeeees and gentlemen! The Freethinker once again brings you, at enoooormous expense, a traditional entertainment in which girls dress as boys, an evil villain gets his comeuppance, the hero marries the heroine (and occasionally another hero these days) and everybody lives happily ever after.
Yes, it’s pantomime season again. This Christmas time, sit back and enjoy the show you’ve all [...]

Hard times

Thursday, November 1, 2007

MUSLIM men are so undisciplined and uncontrollable that one of their leaders has been forced to speak out about, ahem, embarrassing physical reactions. And it is, of course, the fault of women themselves if they should get raped.
The sight of women, it seems, causes such arousal among the men – the heterosexual ones, at any [...]

And it came to piss . . .

Saturday, October 20, 2007

THERE’S always been a strange relationship between Christians and booze. Must go right back two thousand years to when the wedding guests at Cana were just getting off their faces and realised they’d run out of the plonk.
More on that in a moment in a special fairy story approved by biblical scholars (and acquired by [...]

Carry on up the convent

Thursday, October 4, 2007

A convent in Italy is to be shut down after an unholy scrap among its last three inhabitants.
Relations among the sisters at Santa Clara in Bari became so bad that the convent’s mother superior, Sister Liliana, ended up having hospital treatment for facial scratches, according to the ever-helpful Ekklesia website.
Only Sister Liliana now remains. She’s said [...]
