Roman Versus Spartan

Ever wonder who would win in a battle - the Roman Legions or Spartan Warriors?   Well, if you are like me and keep flipping back and forth between 300 and Gladiator on the movie channels, you just might be wondering, too.

Well, wonder no more.

What’s Offensive To Christians?

Praying for nice hair evidently.

Hair styling company GHD has been ordered to pull TV ads that use Christian imagery combined with ‘eroticized’ images of women.The ads show women praying that they will get a man because of their beautiful hair.According to Brand Republic, the first ad showed a woman wearing lingerie, sitting on the edge of a bed with beads clasped in her hands. The woman looked upwards and her thoughts could be heard in Italian. On-screen the text read: “May my new curls make her feel choked with jealousy”.Another spot showed a woman lying on a bed with bright light shining through a skylight. She looked upwards towards the skylight and her thoughts could be heard in Swedish. Text read: “May my flirty flicks puncture the heart of every man I see”.In all three executions the text “GHD IV thy Will Be Done” was present at the end of the ads, with the letter “t” appearing as a cross.

The Archdeacon of Liverpool and 22 members of the public objected that the ads were offensive to the Christian faith, particularly the use of the phrase “thy will be done” from the Lord’s Prayer and the depiction of the letter ‘t’ as a cross in ‘thy’

Compared to these two things, these ads are nothing. Heck, they are nothing when compared to nothing.  Who doesn’t pray for all sorts of silly things? We have bigger things to worry about.

Besides, that brunette is hot.

Reverend Wright’s Early Work

Caution: Profanity and parody of racism.

This Obama-Wright story seems to have legs with little tidbits  showing up every day. Whether they are scratchy, short, chubby Janeane Gerafalo legs that are going to give out in a short walk or silky, long, toned Angelina Jolie legs that could run a marathon I just don’t know yet.
