Who is Responsible for Hurricane Katrina?

I found another funny article titled "Who's to Blame?"… It showed me not to give up on the human race… as they can always amuse you with their stupidity!
According to this article, Hurricanes don’t just "happen", but are results of "god's" wrath! … Fine, we all have our conceptions and beliefs, but why was god angry?! I'd like to post some of the reasons that made me snicker!

Cause One: ALLAH
Muhammad Yousef Al-Mlaifi, director of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Endowment’s research center, blamed Allah. In an article entitled “The Terrorist Katrina Is One of the Soldiers of Allah,” Yousef Al-Mlaifi first thanks America for making Iraq “the most tranquil and secure country in the world.” He then writes, “How sad I am for America. Here it is, poor thing, trying with all its might to lower oil prices [and then along comes] this storm, the fruit of Allah’s planning, so that a barrel of oil will increase further still.” The Kuwaiti closes with a quote from the Koran: “The disaster will keep striking the unbelievers for what they have done.”
Muhammad Yousef Al-Mlaifi would be moldering in a mass grave with the rest of Kuwaiti’s government officials if the U.S. hadn’t driven Saddam Hussein’s armies out of Kuwait in the first Gulf War in 1991.

I really don't think he intended to scorn them or that "blaming" is the right word to be used here, but people here believe that everything good or bad is in the hands of Allah... oh well!

Cause Two: ANNE RICE
One can only celebrate, and profit from, the “dark arts” for so long before one brings God’s wrath down upon one’s head. Anne Rice, who hasn’t written a single decent book during her interminably long career, may have brought Katrina’s epic destruction to the city she has celebrated in her novels about vampires, witches, mummies, and more vampires. Paganism, homosexuality, the “goth” way of life—these dissolute lifestyles have been promoted and glamorized in Rice’s fiction, inspiring scores of dweebish teens to turn away from more wholesome pursuits. Frankly, we’re surprised God didn’t level the city after Violin was published.

Maybe god was reading it too! Hehe!

Cause Three: THE SIMPSONS!
How did New Orleans, a den of sin and vice for 300 long years, manage to escape God’s wrath for so long? It’s possible that God, with so much on his hands, was unaware of Mardi Gras, Southern Decadence, Girls Gone Wild, and foot-long margaritas until relatively recently. What brought New Orleans’s sinful status to the attention of our vengeful God ? Could it have been an episode of the long-running animated hit The Simpsons?
In the episode “A Streetcar Named Marge,” the citizens of Springfield perform a musical version of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire. The show opens with the cast performing in front of the Superdome, singing the opening number, “New Orleans!”

Long before the Superdome,
Where the Saints of football play,
Lived a city that the damned called home,
Hear their hellish roundelay…
New Orleeeans…
Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
New Orleeeans…
Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!
If you want to go to Hell, you should make that trip
To the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp’!
New Orleeeans…
Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile!
New Orleaaans…Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul!
New Orleeeans…Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank!
New Orleeeans!

I'm not really into any religion, but how can you think that some god killed all these people, and left the survivors dying or without a shelter because of his spite at a published book, or a TV series? *shrugs* Some people actually believe that.

To Stupify You

I used to stay there in Darkness, yet I knew what was going around me. Now, I am hearing things for the first time… he's getting married. Stupid! I told him he was too young to do it, but that's only my opinion.
He walked in my domain, and put them down on the table. "Swiss chocolate!", he said. …I know who gave it to him. "I don't like chocolate!" I lied looking straight into careless eyes... Don't you feign it so well?
You sit somewhere behind, singing and mumbling complete nonsense trying to get any reaction. Childish.

Forlorn

It's sad that we all die alone, but the tragic is that we live alone as well.

Is Your Child A Goth?!

I found an article written by St. Mary's Church on the MKMagazine website that I can only describe as religiously fanatic and clueless. I mostly get sick of those misconceptions about the Goth culture and how they confuse it with Satanism and psychological disorders!
I'd like to post it here for my personal amusement.

Some points mentioned above are true to be found in a Goth individual, some you'd just see at any normal teenage- ones as random as watching tv?! I think this article is unfair, not to mention ridiculously hilarious!, but it's issued by a church, so what can you expect?

WWE

Wrestling have been a fascination to me for as long as I can remember. I stopped watching it for awhile, but now I'm back analyzing things. Since wrestling is a "show", how do wrestlers bleed, and are they actually bleeding?
I searched and found out that there's a wrestling technique called "blading". The word speaks for itself really, but to elaborate I took this definition from Obsessed with Wrestling who say it's a way "used to help a match be considered more believable or more violent and exciting by using a razor blade to cut yourself to draw more blood, most often done by the wrestler himself but there has been occasions where a manager/valet would do it for the wrestler and even the referee has been used for blading."
I still can't see how does this blading action take place though, wouldn't watching a match makes it easy to show the blading action if that actually requires slashing oneself with a razor?! … Professional wrestling, everybody!
