Thanks to the lovely and understanding people at Apple, I got a new iPod free of charge today. This is number three. The first was known as jesusPod, because he died one day then rose from the dead two days later. Someone stole jesusPod when he was in his prime, and hopefully that person is burning in hell right now. Next came judasPod, who unceremoniously committed suicide yesterday. So, now I’ll put it to you: What do I call the new one?

No clever comment from the BC repertoire could make this better than it already is:

Thanks to IT Master Gordo for the link.

I think it’s high time we brought the irony back to this feature.

Charity.

If you’re like us, you often think “yeah I’d be helping others, but what’s in it for me?”

One of BC’s favorite magazines, GOOD, is currently offering a year’s subscription in exchange for you making a donation to one of 12 worthwhile causes. Six issues for $20. We’re funding micro loans and pretending like we know what that is. Be selfish, feel smart and help folks all at once, you wonderful bastards.

RECENT GOOD FEATURES:

- Student Debt by the Numbers

- Non-hippie Sustainable Design

- Gerrymandering Like a Pro

Please, everyone: Leave exorcisms to the professionals. We lost Jason Miller a few years ago, but Max von Sydow is still kicking! 

 PS - Am I being terribly insensitive when I post stuff like this? I know a man died, but consider the circumstances. A DIY exorcism?    

I see your true colors, and that’s why I hate you.

I know pretty much everyone feels this way, but we don’t need that shit coming from the pope. Come on, Benny. J.P. Deuce never would’ve pulled a stunt like this.

“And all they had was some gold…”

Allow your mind to boogle.

What horrible people.

Mike Huckabee has to be the worst: “However, when pressed about whether he believed in a literal interpretation of the timeline laid out in Genesis — that God created the world in six days about 6,000 years ago — Huckabee said, ‘I don’t know.’ ”

These would have been acceptable answers:

“Hahahahahaha.”
“Hehehehehehe.”
“Pfft.”
“WTF?”
an exaggerated eye roll

But, no, we get “Duuhhrrrr…. I dunno!” Is he Alabamian or retarded?

And from Sam Brownback: “One of the problems we have with our society today is that we’ve put faith and science at odds with each other. They aren’t at odds with each other. If they are, check your faith, or check your science.”

They’re at odds because of people like you, you fuckwit! Also, I just checked my faith and my science, and my science beat the shit out of my faith.
