Sean, I have to feel like you’re responsible for this, because I swear I have seen you draw this kind of stuff before…
However the artist is apparently an Italian guy named Giuseppe Veneziano, who is in trouble for his gallery work featuring Hitler and the Virgin Mary. That’s a HUGE plus in my book. Check out his work:
Example 1:
More images follow.
“For Japan’s media, politics has suddenly become a whole lot more interesting because there has never been a Japanese first lady quite like Miyuki Hatoyama. If there was a premier league for first ladies, she’d be right up beside Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni, the wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, except that as far as I know neither of them has ever traveled to Venus.
That was the extraordinary claim Hatoyama made in a recent interview. More precisely, she said her spirit had flown there in a UFO, and that it was a beautiful place, very green.
She went on to describe how she “eats the sun” each morning to gain energy, and how she’d met Tom Cruise in a previous life. She said Cruise, who played a samurai knight in the movie The Last Samurai, was Japanese back in the other life.”
This is my rant, taken from the comments on Alan’s post and made into a new topic per Sean’s request so it can be discussed:
My biggest issue with the Bible (and I suppose any religious text not already a flash animation) is what Sean points out, which is that there are so many versions and revisions and edits of the source text, that most people only know or recognize a single version of the story. Sean can attest that the differences between the King James and New International Version are already substantial, and that when you compare protestant, lutheran, catholic, and orthodox versions you are almost reading totally different stories.
I suppose it’s 1% source and 99% interpretation; that you could summarize the bible on a flash card and hand it out and still have the same damn arguments about who killed who and what day noah started eyeing the sheep. Some sects of christianity (and judaism, to be fair) exist just because of reformists or dark horses like Martin Luther. Luther didn’t want people to follow him, he just wanted the church reformed and cleaned up. I’m not well-read on what happened between nailing the theses to the door and the establishment of the protestants and lutherans, so I can’t really speak for that time- but aren’t all the new sects eroding the chance for the group as a whole to come together again? What chance is there for the Catholics and Protestants to come to the table and work together as brothers under Christ? Will there always be tension and disagreement until every person is their own personalized sect of christianity? When do they start shooting at each other?
In my mind the next logical step is radicalized christianity, where you wind up with a sort of crusade against ‘everybody else’ who isn’t on the exact same goddamn page with you. When does a radical sect become radicalized- like Islam? Didn’t that whole interpretation of the Q’oran(sp?) come out of the crusade times, that Qoranic scholars took the passage about Jihad or ‘taking up swords to guard muslim brothers’ as legitimizing a holy war against any threat to the muslim world?
How does a religious sect get to where they are totally unwilling (maybe militantly so) to hear other versions of their holy text, or others who don’t really agree on all the talking points, or when their whole existence comes down to interpreting hash marks on a 3000 year old stone cube the deposed king used to use as a doorstop?
Yamaha just released some more news about this beauty:
Hybrid motorcycle, or Judge Dredd's awesome future bike?
I just can’t get over how unapologetically futuristic this thing is. It’s the kind of machine that would turn on you, robo-rape you for fun, then harvest your metabolic energy to power its world-conquering ambitions. How can I order one?
