10 Things I Hate About Commandments



Recently, I've been reading a translation of the Old Testament by this awesome guy, known as Rabbi Telushkin.  To make the whole Bible reading process a little easier, I've thought about different shortcuts I could take to learn all the famous stories. Obviously, there was the Passover episode of Rugrats--but a better more theatrical retelling of the bible can be found in "The Ten Commandments." I still haven't watched that movie (it is 4 hours long!) but I did find this re-cut trailer for the movie in the style of a teen movie. It's pretty hilarious. If you're really into fake re-cuts of films, here's a hilarious one for The Shining, as well.

The Swearing Episode of Arthur

This is actually the craziest video I have ever seen. I first saw this episode of Arthur when I discovered they had started making new episodes. This is probably one of the better new episodes and it isn't even that good. Its only cool due to the shock value of all the swearing.

Interesting New York Times Article On Scientology

Last night I sat through the not so uncommon debate on religion. You know the one, where everyone waits for their turn to speak, throw some big words around, and then let the next person have a go. For a minute I thought I felt a slight superiority realizing how silly the conversation was--but then I think I realized I was truly just jealous that I didn't get to throw my own pretentious comments into the bag.

Anyways, the conversation inspired me to read this article on New York Times about Scientology. And wow, I recommend reading, very interesting. Its weird because you read up on the practices and you think, how eery, creepy and strange the whole religion is--but then at the same time think about how moronic it sounds. Though, the article I have linked below was really interesting because for scientologists it really isn't a joke--its their life--they believe in what they are doing. Though, after reading the article it seems that there is a growing  divide between scientologists and their subsequent church. It seems like scientology soon might be going through it's own 'reformation.' Nuts!

All this scientology business had me thinking about the South Park episode. The controversial episode that lead to Isaac Hayes leaving the show, and subsequently lead to Tom Cruise trying to ban the episode.
