Read a brief article in MX on the train home that, while not really being 'funny', wasn't really 'not funny' either. The headline read "Man of God dies at film" and it went a little somthing like this;

"A Brazilian pastor has died during a screening of Mel Gibson's controversial film The Passion of the Christ. Jose Geraldo Soares, a 43-year-old Presbyterian, had booked a whole cinema to view the film with his congregation. Halfway through, his wife noticed that he was no longer awake. A doctor in the audience confirmed he had suffered a heart attack. Friends denied that the film's violence had caused the death. 'He was calmly watching the movie next to his wife,' family friend Amauri Costa said.
A Kansas woman passed out and died after seeing the film early this month.
"

Also in MX today was a two page fashion spread with Oscar Humphries posing as model. Made me mock and giggle to my scornful glee. But it also made me realise that perhaps I should be more understanding of Guy's anti-Thorpie position. Cos, what Guy takes exception to in Thorpie is probably the same thing that I take exception to in Oscar, namely, that he's personally fucking annoying. You know?
