Al Gore to release seven new sequels to An Inconvenient Truth

After the box office success of his environmental apocalyptic thriller, An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore has decided to continue the franchise with the following new sequels:

An Inconvenient Brew:
In this documentary movie Al Gore examines the dangers presented to mankind by homebrew beer. Al speaks to experts in the field of homebrewing, many of whom have experienced firsthand the danger that homebrew presents to mankind (especially when you drive after drinking five litres of it).







An Inconvenient Sleuth:
In this documentary movie Al Gore examines the serious threat posed to the planet by private investigators. Al presents clips from the “World’s Wildest Police Videos 37” and eyewitness accounts from Duane “Dog” Chapman of the cult TV show “Dog the Bounty Hunter”.






An Inconvenient Spew:
In this documentary movie Al Gore examines the cataclysmic dangers presented to mankind by stomach bugs and food poisoning. Al presents convincing evidence which shows that if we don’t close all fried chicken takeaway outlets within the next five years the population of the world will literally vomit itself to death.





An Incontinent Truth:
In this documentary movie Al Gore examines the fatal consequences of ignoring the global threat of incontinence. Al presents frightening pictures from rest homes around the globe and then uses them to show that if we don’t start spending millions more tax payer dollars on adult diapers the world as we know it could cease to exist.





An Inconvenient Crew:
In this documentary movie Al Gore explores the dangers presented to the environment by white gangsta rap. Al speaks to Vanilla Ice, who has reformed since his chart topping days, and become a campaigner promoting the message of the dangers of unchecked global wrapping (white rapping).







An Inconvenient Booth:
In this documentary movie Al Gore explores the serious threat posed to global economies and social stability by the Salvation Army church. Al speaks to ex-members of this Protestant denomination and discovers a seedy underbelly of global corruption and illegal arms trading that threatens humanity.




An Inconvenient Tooth:
In this documentary movie Al Gore examines the frightening dangers posed to humanity by global tooth decay. Al speaks to the nation’s leading dentists, and all of them who were paid by Al Gore’s production company agree that global tooth decay will bring about an increase in hurricanes, floods and bad breath.






There is no word yet on when the first of the new movies will be in theatres.

The Liturgical Experimenter’s guide to Lent

Welcome to another edition of the Liturgical Experimenter’s Guide; today we will be focusing on the rather seasonal topic of Lent.

As you are probably well aware Lent is the purple season, and what better way to encourage the parish community to enter more fully into the season of Lent than by holding Barney Liturgies every Sunday in Lent?











That’s right folks, the purple people eater himself is the perfect sacramental sign to promote this most purple and penitent of seasons.

A) He’s purple

B) He’s a dinosaur who abstains from eating human flesh

Perfect!

Here's Barney leading the parish children’s liturgy in a Marty Haugen song during Communion - now that’s what I call active participation in the liturgy!


















Barney greets the ushers before Mass – have you ever seen such happy parishioners in your parish?!















Barney and the Eucharistic Ministers prepare for Communion:


















We all know that Lent is about penance, but who says that Lent has to be boring?!

Euthanasia promoter accidentally kills himself during suicide workshop

Euthanasia advocate, Dr. Will Killu, died earlier today while conducting one of his self-titled “suicide workshops” for doctors and other medical professionals.

Surprised participants initially had no idea that Dr Killu was dying in front of them as he demonstrated his custom “Death with dignity” TM plastic bag.

“He placed the bag over his head and then pulled the draw string and next thing you know he was writhing on the ground” said workshop participant Dr. Ira Jansen.

“We all thought he was pulling a prank. I mean, after all, he had just finished explaining to us about how his Death with dignity bag TM offered a truly peaceful and dignified way to end the life of a patient, and here he was convulsing and writhing on the ground in front of us” said Dr. Jansen.

It seems that many of Dr. Jansen’s fellow medical professionals who were also attending the workshop thought that Dr Killu was playing a trick on them, and as a result no one actually came forward to investigate what was happening to him for more than 15 minutes, at which stage he was already dead.

Initial media reports had suggested that Dr. Killu had intentionally used his suicide workshop for doctors and medical professionals to end his own life, but his wife Clara has strongly rejected such suggestions.

“Will would have never taken his own life; he just thought that euthanasia was a great way to become famous and make money from lonely elderly people” said Clara Killu during a phone interview earlier today.

Mrs Killu says that she plans to continue the euthanasia advocacy of her late husband Will, and she hopes to release a special suicide bag in his honour called the “Will Killu Bag”.

Urgent staff memo from Sen. John Edwards

Staff Memo

To: All Staff

From: Senator John Edwards

Importance: High priority


Dear team,

After recent events surrounding certain staff members and their personal blogs, I am requesting that all members of staff be more cautious and vigilant in regards to the public statements they make in their own personal time outside of this office.

As you are well aware; I do not support religious intolerance or bigotry of any sort.

In fact, the only thing I hate more than religious bigotry and intolerance is Catholicism.

Thank you for your time.


Kind regards,

Senator John Edwards

Man mistakes a We are Church meeting for fancy dress expo

Ohio couple, David and Kathy Farrar, managed to raise the ire of Catholic dissident group “We are Church” last Saturday by accidentally mistaking one of their gatherings for a “fancy dress expo”.

“It was a genuine mistake” said Mr Farrar to a local Catholic journalist on Saturday afternoon.

Mr Farrar and his wife Kathy had been invited to a friend’s fancy dress birthday party, so last Saturday they took a trip into town to find a shop that could sell them some costumes for the party.

While walking through town, Mr Farrar said they “decided to take a shortcut through the local convention centre.”

“While we were in there we noticed some women dressed up in what we thought were Egyptian priestess costumes” said David Farrar.

“My wife and I thought that they might be able to show us where they got their hilarious costumes from, so we followed them.”

As David and Kathy Farrar approached the two women they found themselves suddenly rounding a corner into the We are Church conference.

“We couldn’t believe our eyes” said Kathy Farrar, “there were more women dressed as Egyptian priestesses and some were even dressed as priests, it was a real hoot.”

It was at this point that things turned out rather badly for David and Kathy Farrar.

“We thought it was a fancy dress expo, I mean everyone knows that women can’t be priests and no normal person dresses like an Egyptian priestess, so we naturally thought it was a fancy dress expo; they even had stalls set up and everything” said Mr Farrar.

At this point David and Kathy Farrar approached someone behind one of the stalls and asked where they could buy one of the costumes from because “all their friends would laugh themselves silly at a woman pretending to be a priest.”

“The lady behind the stall just went nuts” said David Farrar; “her eyes glazed over and she started frothing at the mouth and hurling abuse at me and my wife, I really became concerned at that point and I tried to lead Kathy to an exit.”

It is uncertain how things developed from this point, as witnesses tell conflicting stories, but before David and Kathy Farrar could reach the exit they were surrounded by angry women in rainbow cassocks and strangely quiet men with ponytails and pastel waistcoats on.

“I looked into the eyes of those men and I saw nothing” said Kathy Farrar; “it was like they had been turned into zombies who were controlled by the women in the room. They just kept apologising for being “born a male”.

David and Kathy said they really became fearful when the mob began chanting “en-i-gram” over and over again in unison.

“I have no idea what an enigram is, but I knew that I didn’t want to stick around to find out” said David Farrar.

At this point the convention centre security guards stepped in and removed David and Kathy Farrar from the conference area.

David and Kathy Farrar are still uncertain whether they will attend their friend’s fancy dress birthday party after the ordeal they experienced at the We are Church convention.
