Ah, there’s much to enjoy about capitalism, but religious capitalism…that’s better by at least a couple orders of magnitude.
I think the picture nearly says it all!
Found this on Boing Boing.
The New York Times has an article with all the collected Mad Magazine back covers from WAY back in the day. Check it here. It’s even interactive, so you have to ‘fold’ the back page over with a click-and-drag of your mouse…very cool!
I used to read Mad Magazine as a kid and can remember a few of these… 🙂
This is too funny.
Well…the Palestinian/Israeli conflict isn’t funny, really, but this little story is.
Apparently when masked gunmen blew up a wall in the Gaza Strip that had kept Palestinians in place, allowing them easy entry into Egypt, they took money with them to buy non-essential items that Israel had banned them from buying. Shopkeepers on the Egypt side were only too happy to sell them whatever they liked, and all of this led to a few problems for the shopkeepers, local shoppers and the Palestinian visitors:
This little tidbit comes from Israel Today, a site that apparently takes the joy of confining people in a dusty, rock-strewn cage and seeing what happens, then reporting on it to the rest of the world.
Who the hell gets a tatto from a door-to-door tatoo guy with a homemade tatoo gun?
These people, that’s who. And now they’re falling ill and being told to get tested for AIDS and HIV.
Darwin Award candidates? Probably, but first they have to die.
I stumbled across this witty dictionary of British-English phrases while poking about on the internet. It’s pretty funny, and spot-on if one is looking to sort out their chips from their crisps.
It’s a fun read whether you’re American or British 🙂

I was literally crying my eyes out at some of these.
Some are potentially offensive and many are NSFW (Not Safe For Work).
Sad enough to put the ’24’ CTU ringtone on my mobile, that is!
I just started watching the fourth season last night and I’m already well into it. Pretty silly and TV-ish, I know (I mean, really – when does anyone eat? or use the toilet? or sleep?) but it’s good entertainment anyway.
During a recent football game, Kyle Garchar of Hilliard Davidson High School in Ohio and his pals pulled a great prank on their rivals from Hilliard Darby High School. Before the game started, they placed a black or white card on each seat in three sections of the stadium where the Hilliard Darby fans would be sitting. Attached instructions urged the fans to hold up the cards at the start of the third quarter to collectively spell out the message “Go Darby.” In reality, the cards spelled out “We suck.” Yay! Garchar and his co-conspirators were rewarded with three days of in-school suspension and were banned from school activities for the semester. Boo! The prank was inspired by a similar trick pulled on Harvard by Yale in 2004.
