Madonna's show also included...

There were verbal and visual digs at President George W. Bush,

Yeah, that was why I always went to a concert...to hear some bawdy tart preach.

*sings You know your man is working hard...he's worth a Deuce!*

I mean, it's entertainment, not the nightly news!

*sings I wanna rock and roll all night....and party EVERY day!*

Some of these "artists" take themselves too seriously.

*sings And I command thee to kneel before the ....God of Thunder....and rock and roll...*


As to this silly little movie, meh. No impact on me at all, thus assuring that it completely missed its target here.



*sings the rest of the KISS catalog, except the stuff from Unmasked....that one sucked...*

UNDERSTANDING GENESIS




In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.





Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled.



And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.



So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.



God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.



God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."



God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.



Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.



God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.



God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.



Then Satan created HMOs.

Am I the last human to not have read or seen DaVinci Code? I want to read it before I see it (actually waited for the paperback & bought it & haven't had time to open it)


Nope, I've done neither and I haven't seen anything that would make me want to personally...

The book is good, the movie, who knows, so many mixed reviews.

as to the contriversy, who cares, it's fiction just differs from the RC churchs fiction. He took one part fact one part pseudo fact one part fiction, jsut like all good books

Actually, I thought it was a fairly pedestrian murder mystery with an interesting back story and characters. Paul, have you read "Angels and Demons?" There was no great hue and cry over that one.

I guess if it ain't a best seller then it ain't really so offensive. :lloyd:

I would've thought Angels and Demons would have been WAY more offensive to the church than DaVinci.

I read it before davinci code, I liked it better, and it was a hell of a lot more offensive

I take it noone else read "To Reign in Hell"?
Dan Brown didn't write that one, but I wasn't any more offended by it if that's your question. You kinda went off topic there, is that allowed? :lloyd:

MrsBish saw it yesterday for her "Movies for Mommies" thing.
She says that it's "so so", although she liked some of the actors chosen for the secondary parts.

The movie is too short to really shine. :nerd:
