i know that normally i avoid posting news thingies here, unless it's about books or something, but really, i think these three stories are hints that the apocalypse is coming:
item number 1: rolling stone magazine says, "hey, sure, we'd love to advertise your hip new bible after all!" i remember this hip new bible from when i worked at cokesbury--more specifically, i remember looking at it and rolling my eyes.
item number 2: 20 members of one of the russian houses of parliament want to outlaw jewish organizations, claiming that jews provoke anti-semitic attacks.
item number 3: like madonna, britney spears is into that superneat kabbalah stuff! so to show her new supercool spirituality, she got a "hebrew symbol" tattooed on the back of her neck (confirmation from some fan site here). classy! (it would be funny if mem-hay-shin meant something like "skank," but it doesn't mean anything.)
this reminds me of a ride home on the bus last week, where two jewish frat boys were looking at the photos of one's recent trip to israel.
frat boy one: that photo is from tsfat.
frat boy two: (has obviously never heard of the city, or never heard the name spoken out loud) ts-fad?
fb1: yeah, that's where, like, they invented kabbalah. it's the center of jewish myticism. see this synagogue here? ashton kutchner was there just last week!
