IMPROPER USE OF INVERTED COMMAS! *pow*

A few interesting links:

The Heterosexual Agenda is not only a brilliant parody of anti-gay pamphlets, it's also a deconstruction of prejudice tracts altogether, with an afterword that walks you step by step through their particular brand of fact manipulation. A short, but fun read.

Free Rice. Expand your vocabulary and buy rice for impoverished countries at the same time!

Chick Publications is the home site for chick tracts, everyone's favorite intrusive, crazy Christian conversion comics! I spent an entire evening reading through these and felt only mildly tummy-ill afterwards! Sadly, I have had some of these handed to me in the street. Ha ha, ha ha.

I know that despite my long pretty hair and fondness of skirts and jewelry and things, that at my core, I am kind of an ineffective girl. Or haven't been correctly "socialized" as one or something. I mean, when I don't have the patience to make it through one issue of Sandman, but can spend an entire weekend plowing through something as shamelessly foul and macho as Preacher... I swear, somewhere inside of me there is a druken, smelly, muddy-boot wearing, shotgun holstering cowboy just waiting to fight it's way free. :P

BUT MY POINT IS, Preacher is an incredible series and totally distracting me from my schoolwork (so let's be thankful that it is also a finite series) and is maybe one of the most beautiful stories I've read in ages and, uh, okay Garth Ennis. I have not been very fond of your work in general thus far, but now that I've read your magnum opus and seen that it was really fucking good, I'll give you a bit of a pass from now on. Seriously, okay?
