Churchiness!

It's Good Friday, easily the most boring and annoying day of the year! It's also a celebration of rank hypocrisy.

Don't you hate how every shop is closed, even supermarkets that people depend on for food? Even most cafes and coffee shops? The rare ones that open are incredibly crowded and the service is soooo slow!

There are two things that are really annoying however: clerics and bikies.

George Pell and Philip Jenson, heads of Australian Catholicism and Anglicanism respectively, make their usual appearance on our TV screens and bore the nation to death with patronising and sentimental talk of...well, what exactly? Nothing of any resonance or meaning, just the usual tired cliches of official churchiness. George can't resist getting political either. Tonight on TV he implied that Rudd's stimulus packages were 'sending the nation into debt'. How would he know? What gives him the right? Why do we have to listen? What are these TV producers thinking?

As for the bikies, do we have to put up with these morons delivering a convoy of easter eggs 'for the kiddies'? Same as they do at Christmas time?

It's so transparently a public con. Show the mugs we're good at heart so we can rape and pillage every other freekin day of the year with impunity! Well I'm not fooled. You are miserable, ugly, fat, murdering scum. Feed your (undoubtedly stolen) eggs and teddy bears to your mangy dogs and get the hell off our TV screens. And take the TV producers who think this is news with you.
