Old post, new title
I posted this a few weeks ago:
Pizza night
Recently, Domino's has been running this strange advertising campaign. The basic gist is something like this: "We've just figured out that what we'd been serving you all these years was basically shit. Apparently, our sauce was made from bloody cat faeces and what we led you to believe was cheese was actually moldy yoghurt. Our pizza base was solidified dog breath."
Really.
"So, we're changing our bad old ways. Out with the old poo and in with the new. We've redone everything and now it's all better."
Now, at the back of my mind, I was thinking to myself: this has to be just a ploy to get more business. Sort of like what Jaguar was trying to do back in the late 90s with their "we no longer suck, so please buy our cars" commercials.
Tonight I was hungry, so I gave their new pizza a shot. It tasted just like the old pizza. I mean, in every single way it was identical. It looked the same, tasted the same, felt the same.
Really.

Calling all atheists
As of Jan 1st, 2010, blasphemy is illegal in Ireland. Cue the Life of Brian stoning scene.
What this means is that, whereas it is OK for me to say "I love Jesus" in Ireland, it would be illegal for me to say "I want to make love to Jesus." And of course saying "I'd like to brain-fuck Jesus through his eye socket" would get me stoned right away.
But I see opportunity here. All you have to do is either be a non-Christian in Ireland, or form a new religion, and ask that all references to "false gods", "false prophets", etc. be removed from all bibles published in Ireland. After all, the blasphemy law is phrased in a way that makes it blasphemy to cause insult to any religion.
I wonder if it's illegal for me to call Dermot Ahern a tit?
