I'm pretty sure this video's virus is as old as dirt, but i just found it and died of happiness and laughter.

Bilboard Idea

"when you pay your credit card bills you allow the bank to loan money to other people - so do it."

Detroit = St. Louis?

"I'm not going to get into the complicated cultural ramifications of Detroit's long and steady decline into what basically amounts to pre-Apocalypse, post-Apocalyptic disaster. It's like a bomb went off that killed all the people but left all the buildings intact. Well, kind of intact. There is a lot to love about Detroit, in that condescending way that people love something because they don't have to be a part of it. But the reality is that it's a ghost town, and even most of the ghosts are just driving in from the suburbs to hang out at a bar for a couple of hours before driving back out again. Its collapse is beautiful in a way. And completely unacceptable. This is what happens when Katrina happens over decades."

LOST: Betty vs. Veronica

Amazing NYMag Culture Vulture article about LOST that says Kate is Veronica and Juliette is Betty.  Hilarious.

NYMag Culture Vulture: Lost: Veronica Freckles, Dr. Betty, and Jughead Linus

The best parts:

"It's interesting Kate confessed the true crash story to Cassidy, and ridiculous that she kept this relationship from Jack (to whom she was engaged, right?). But then, if she told him, there'd be no paranoid drama to eat like cake."

"Meanwhile, Juliet's operating on Ben, untroubled by saving–Baby Hitler concerns."

"Now, Jack's on the "I can't fix everything" train, while Kate's still aboard the "I criticize you no matter what you do" trolley bus."

" But he's grown up in the past three years because SAWLIET 2gether 4ever, PLEASE! stop talking, Kate and Sawyer, and go your separate ways. Also, we thought you jumped from the chopper because it was too heavy: Admit it, you're in love with Hurley!"  I LOVE THIS BECAUSE I AM ADAMENTLY ANTI-SAWYER/KATE

"The Wha? Factor 

• The Marvelous Sawliet, Miles, and Jin have been in Dharmaville for three years, and they've never discussed the "should we kill Baby Hitler" issue?
• Since when did Sawyer break Kate's heart? Talk about changing history! 
• Is it really such a bad thing to lose your innocence to Richard Alpert?"

HAHAHAH.

mmm...Bavinck

well, it's test time again so I'm reading more Bavinck.  Anyone ever wondered why Christians are called Christians and not Jesusians (or, why everyone is not widely known as Jesuits)?

The name Joshua (Hebrew) or Jesus means "
