Boing Boing: Platitude of the Day: a non-denominational parody of the BBC's religious "Thought of the Day"

Posted by on under magic friend, wdom, spiritual improvement, morning radio, platitude, agnostics, mday, thought of the day, bite size, stef, atitude, faiths, radio news, parody, flagship, spaghetti, followers, morality, cult, bbc |

Stef sez, "During the BBC's flagship morning radio news show, The Today programme, there's a religious segment called 'Thought for the Day.' Its rotating presenters are multi-faith, but humanists, agnostics and atheists or followers of specialist faiths such as the Cult of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, are barred. Platitudes.org.uk provides a daily parody of the broadcast piece and the site explains itself, thusly: The BBC's department of Religion & More Religion, recognises that only those who commune with their invisible magic friend can possibly have any morality. Atheists, agnostics, humanists and other amoral non-believers are therefore excluded from the pure and godly Platitude of the Day, broadcast Monday to Saturday at 07.45 (but obviously not Sundays). For your further edification and spiritual improvement, we therefore present these concise, bite-size summaries of the wisdom of their presenters. Platitude of the Day (Thanks, Stef!)...

Pole Dancing Robots Ruin Both Robots and Strippers Simultaneously [Robots]

Posted by on under cctv cameras, bullhorns, pole dancing, robots, ld, strippers, robot, bbc, hell |

Pole dancing robots. Yes, they exist, and yes, I have video of them. No, they are not sexy. They are the polar opposite of sexy.

The robots are part of the MuTate London exhibition. Beyond that, I have no idea what in the hell is the deal with these things. I mean, I know that people have a lot of insane, indefensible fetishes, but robot strippers with CCTV cameras and bullhorns for heads? Total bonerkillers. No thank you. [BBC]
