Attacks Christians, defiles White women, stabs White men in the guts

That would be ABC news, for running this story with a photo of an interracial couple who seem to be having some sort of dissociated sexual experience brought on by a flying bible, as shown to your left. The photo has since been changed to show a couple named Flaherty, fully clothed and with a giant Bible doubling as a recliner replacing the flying one, who don’t appear to be having a particularly good time posing for their photo but are at least on the same wavelength.

Possibly the change has something to do with reactions to the original photo like this one, a creditable rant closing with the observation that “I wouldn’t shed a tear if someone cracked [the writer's] skull open with a baseball bat!” Probably there were other concerns raised more temperately from other quarters; it’s an image that I would suppose to be somewhat uncomfortable for many Christians, although not necessarily because one of the lovers is tinted.

I don’t actually have anything to say about the story or that unadulteratedly racist response to it, other than with respect to the latter that the occasional reminder that the community exists is useful. Mostly I’m wondering how I ran across this stuff. The pages have been open in one of my browsers for a few weeks now, and all I remember is that I found the response first, which led me to the ABC story, which led me to track down the original photo. What on earth could I have been searching for—not speaking metaphysically here—that would parachute me into the middle of Google’s alt.conspiracy group?

   There’s got to be a joke here somewhere. I mean, that racist whackadoodle screed is something special (maybe why you bookmarked it?), the couple looks humorously photoshopped (he appears to be about 3/4 the size she is), and the whole thing reeks of bogus movement story based on two data points. But mostly, I think it’s kind of nice that people are concerned enough to remember the abstinence set once they become married adults, advising them belatedly, having forbade that sort of thing when liberal experimentation was natural for a lot of people.

   Hey, Keifus. Where’s my Scotch?

   Yeah, I thought that rant was pretty iconic and worth preserving. I wish I knew who the guy was so I could send him a constant stream of interracial knife-in-the-guts photos. Eventually he would have to bleed out.

   I hope the story is true. The more people having mutually agreeable sex, the better off the planet will be.

   Yeah, you see, I had a totally full bottle, but then I got thirsty while I was packing it up, and, uh, then I needed a drink while I looked for stamps, and then I forgot the foam peanuts, and next thing you know…

   If you’re back in bidness for awhile, let me know if you want me to reduce the classiness of the place with more book reviews. They don’t come real fast, but it’s easy enough to cross a post.

   The handy thing is that you can order online from a Los Angeles liquor store and have it delivered to me, so as to avoid all those perfectly understandable hazards. We’re here to simplify your life. No, no, don’t thank me, it was nothing.

   By all means, post away. I hope to be here for a while. So far it seems feasible.

   Here’s a fun thing: it purports to analyze your prose and identify the prominent writer whose prose is most like yours. The first post I put in, it said I write like Kurt Vonnegut. O sure. The second one, it said I like like Stephen King. Huh. I’m going to try again later, shoot for William Burroughs.
