That thunder you heard was God going (holyfacepalm)
A heckler disrupted opening remarks President Obama was giving at a House of Blues event in Los Angeles Monday night.

Obama had just told the event's master of ceremonies Tyler Ferguson, an actor on the TV show Modern Family, that "Michelle and the girls love them some Modern Family," and Ferguson responded by thanking him for ending the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy governing gays in the military. "The end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell is the signature achievement of our time," Ferguson told Obama and the crowd.

At that point, a bearded man standing in the front row closest to the stage began shouting: "Christian God is the one and only true living God, the creator of Heaven and the Universe," according to White House pool coverage of the event.

The guy was still ranting while being carried out by Secret Service: "I love Jesus. Jesus Christ is God. Jesus Christ is the son of God." . . . The man was still on his way out yelled one final epithet: "Jesus Christ is god, Barack Obama is the antichrist!"

14. But can pasta really be said to be "living"?
A question best discussed at the Pastafarian seminary (where is that? Italy?).

15. (confession)
It's one of my favorite shows.

But I have a sadistic side to my sense of humor.

Give it another try. It's pretty good social satire if you let the horror just wash over you.

It isn't the show that's awful, so much as it's the stuff highlighted by the show that's awful.

My 2.

18. i dont have that type of humor.
i laugh at a lot of stuff. odd stuff. so much i cry. kids think it is a hoot. but....

let me tell you about the couple minutes i watch

strip club, as i am turning it away from the channel. so i turn it back to see some woman sticking her butt in a mans face, sitting in a wheel chair. goes to the mom on a park bench. cant see face, zoomed into her boobs, and she is talking about how great tits look (???) then to a baby in a swing that is looking at another women breast feeding a baby. he flies from swing, to sit on womans lap and suckin on her tit, sending the other baby into a trash can. (now at this point i dont know it is a baby and thinking what the fuck). she screams, the mother takes baby off other womans tit and the "baby" yells, what a crappy fake boob, or something.

then i turn the channel

really? and people let kids watch. isnt it an adult program? you may watch it, and i do believe has to be a different kind of humor there.... but.

no thanks.

AND... thanks for telling me about it. i appreciate it.

23. Let's imagine that Obama is the anti-Christ ....
Edited on Tue Sep-27-11 04:53 PM by JoePhilly
I've seen all of the Omen movies ... the anti-Christ always knows what you are going to do long BEFORE you try to do it.

And so, clearly Obama is not the anti-Christ, because if he was, this whack job would have never made it into that event. A swarm of bees would have killed him, or some enraged beagles, or a truck would have lost part of its load and crushed the guy.

The anti-Christ doesn't play games.

But wait ... what if the guy is RIGHT????

Maybe Obama let him come to the event, and let him scream that Obama is the anti-Christ. And then, rather than smite the dope, Obama simply let this loser return to his meaningless life.

Clearly, that should be proof enough that Obama is the Anti-Christ.
