Chinese Better At Revolutionary Meditating Than We Are
1999-11-01 15:17:18
The whole Falun Gong story just really inspires me. I mean it. Here's this religion, that stresses like slow exercise and meditation, and the government is TOTALLY CRACKING DOWN ON IT. I mean, it's like these Falun Gong people do these exercises, and it's SO EFFECTIVE at making people happy and healthy that the OPPRESSIVE CHINESE GOVERNMENT has to ban it to keep people from being healthy enough to shrug off their regime.
And it makes you moral too. But not moral in a Wonder-Bread Missouri scared-of-fags kind of way, like the moral people are here. No sir. Moral in a secret-press-meeting, three-taxis-to-get-to-the-secret-hotel, get-beat-up-and-still-keep-meditating way.
Fuck! It's so cool! Here in America we've got like Tae Bo, and squeaky New Agers, and all that shit, and it's nothing. It's overpriced knick-knack shops. But over there, they've got New Age down pat SO FUCKING WELL that the government needs to crack down on it. And even that doesn't work, because they're so healthy and moral that they meditate their way out of it!
I sing my call out to America: WE NEED MEDITATION SO COOL THAT IT GETS BANNED. Maybe not Falun Gong. Maybe we need Open Source Software mantras that can send the military-industrial complex toppling or something. Or Slow-Motion Exercises that will suddenly remove all the scummiest from office.
GET TO WORK, MAGGOTS!

Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide. About a hundred old-school red-nosed clowns made the sombre trip to darkest Dalston to pay their respects to clowns who died in the last year and to thank God for the gift of laughter in a bizarre ceremony presided over by the eccentric Reverend Clown Roly, resplendent in a garish red lumberjack shirt with oversized gold lapels.

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
Paranoid Strippers & Psychotic Crack Dealers (Tales of Christmas Eve)
Christmas day, for the last 17 or so years has bored me. I find that the real fun and excitement always takes place on Christmas Eve. Every other year, it's the excitement of the metaphorical hunt instead of the kill. Otherwise, it's just plain bad craziness. (More...)
