corporate shrine opens

After more than 130 years of planning and construction, the immortal quasi-entity known as the American Telephone and Telegraph company (AT&T) proudly opened its first officially sanctioned religious shrine. Half of the funds used to build the shrine came from a special federal tax credit granted in 1946 and renewed every years since then thanks to intensive lobbying efforts.

Nestled into a grove of lacebark elm and desert willow on the western edge of the corporation’s sprawling Dallas campus, the glass and steel structure was blessed by company monks in a three-day ceremony that ended 4 April 2017. To commemorate the government-sanctioned monopoly over communications that AT&T has enjoyed throughout most of its existence, and as an expression of thanks for the many favors and gifts they have received for allowing said monopoly to continue, all members of both the U.S. Congress and Senate unanimously declared 4 April a national holiday - Your World - Delivered © Day As Brought To You By AT&T. (The name is the holiday is subject to change according to the whim and fancy of said corporation’s marketing department.)

The shrine features kneeling cushions as well as benches for sitting. Its inner wooden walls are adorned with images of the company’s various logos, which it has changed over the years to signify not only its fantastic might but also its anti-free-market, artificial, un-American dominance over domestic and international channels of communication. Persons seeking to pray at the shrine and worship the holy corporate iconography should wear closed-toed shoes and dress appropriately - women in blouses and dresses that cover the ankle; men in button-down long-sleeved shirts and slacks. The faithful should arrive before the crack of dawn in order to be assured a spot at which to genuflect before the omniscient and immortal corporate entity that is AT&T.

happy zombie-Yeshua day 2012

Many generations ago, there lived a man whose mother was a virgin. He suffered trials and tribulations; he was sacrificed in a horrible fashion; he died and was buried; and after three days of being dead, legend says that he rose back to life. His contemporaries looked upon him as the son of god, and some even saw him as god. This man's name was Osiris, and his story was told, in Egypt and across the Mediterranean, hundreds of years before common error.

On this beautiful spring day, I should like to encourage the reader to think about those things which are not often thought about, to seek truth in all matters, and to sing with me the praises of Oestre, the voluptuous fertility goddess from whom Easter gets its name (and its randy bunnies and bursting flowers). May your body be fertile, and your partner willing.
