Bah Humbug

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

The following email was sent from one of our financial clients. They truly know how to get in the holiday spirit. I’m sure the sender meant well and never got to see the irony.

Subject: Season’s Greeting

May the miracle of Christmas fills your heart with warmth and love.
Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

CyberMarriage!

Last week a Japanese man married a Nintendo DS video game character from a game called Love Plus. The ceremony was well attended, officiated by a priest and the couple spent their honeymoon in Guam.

Hummm. I’m pretty sure that she was under the age of consent.

Our Mental Immune System

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Our minds as well as our bodies have an immune system.

Our mental immune system is activated any time an alien and potentially harmful concept is introduced. In the same way white blood cells surround and isolate a virus, our minds quickly surround the new concept with excuses and semi-logical reasons why the new concept cannot be valid until the concept is comply isolated and cannot connect to any of our healthy, strong beliefs. It ensures that no thoughts can pass though this barrier an interact with the new concept. In this way the new concept is rendered inert and harmless and eventually passes out of our minds as waste.
