Headline Of The Day

Via Raw Story:

A DNA analysis proves that Holy Communion is a “fraud,” according to a hedonistic religious sect that believes humans were created by extraterrestrials about 25,000 years ago. The Association of Raelian Scientists published a study on October 25 they say refutes the Catholic claim of transubstantiation, in which bread and wine and actually become the physical body and blood of Jesus Christ. “Nobody can contest a simple DNA test like that conducted by our scientists,” Brigitte Boisselier, spokesperson for the Raelian Movement, said in a news release. “Supernatural statements of long-established organizations like the Catholic Church can be exposed for what they are, a poor sham from the Middle Ages that has no place in this new century. All scientists should educate the public.”

There's usually one or two Raelians wandering around Union Square with signs about Earth being under surveillance by extraterrestrials who will only return to this world they created when humans end war.

National Go Topless Day: August 23rd

I was handed a flyer for National Go Topless Day as I was leaving Central Park over the weekend. Organizers hope to draw attention to public nudity laws that allow moobs but not boobs. The flyers were being handed out by a cute young chick, but the presence of a sign-carrying Raëlian nearby should have tipped me that those very gay-friendly but otherwise wacky cultists were behind this. But as "we are descended from sexy aliens" cults go, the Raëlians seem fairly harmless. I think we should get a giant posse of bears to come out and support the public boobage movement. Moobs + boobs = party time.
