Radiohead covers Joy Division's "Ceremony"
World's Most Offensive Joke
In Larry's words;
'The justices held that a parody of a public figure was protected under the 1st Amendment even if it was outrageous, even if it was "doubtless gross and repugnant," as they put it, and even if it was designed to inflict emotional distress. In a unanimous decision — written by, of all people, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist — the court reasoned that if it supported Falwell's lower-court victory, no one would ever have to prove something was false and libelous to win a judgment. All anyone would have to prove is that "he upset me" or "she made me feel bad." The lawsuits would be endless, and that would be the end of free speech.'

I hope you're not arguing that the old testament was a meaner God who become less bloodthirsty by the new testament...
In reply to this comment by Sniper007:
So... the moral authority for all of life is "ethical intuitions"? Would not those fail us as well? Sam Harris presupposes (without discussion) that men are basically, fundamentally good and that men will define and keep the proper moral standards based on their own "ethical intuitions". How does Sam Harris know that it is wrong to "paddle children" (as his diatribe implies)? Is it wrong to paddle children because the majority of people feel it is against their "ethical intuitions"? Do we need a poll to determine the morality of such events? How would such moral standards ever change over time if there is no set standard to which we may return, and the only 'standard' is current popular opinion? He fails to realize that the only reason he can even determine that it is -allegedly- wrong to stone certain individuals because of the Bible's commandment, "Thou shalt not kill." The true problem Harris has is understanding the apparent contradictions in the Bible. Rather than seeking a greater understanding of these ostensibly conflicting Biblical mandates, he chooses to ridicule all religious positions without clarifying or even considering his own position. His position is, in fact, untenable.
Fox news cut off a 12 year old girl!
"I didn't know what was happening... I didn't see any (bombs)... BUT, I just wanna say I was running from Georgian troops bombing our city (because my family are wealthy Ossetians who are super pro-Russia, and one of them is sitting right here next to me)."
Monkey Using Frog as Sex Toy
p.s. I think its a chimpanzee; legs are a bit short for it to be a bonobo, otherwise I would have thought it was a bonobo, as they are ridiculously sexual (by our standards).
