Some of you may be aware of recent news pertaining to a scientific contest of sorts, seeing what people think of submitted "ghost photographs". The study, led by psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman,
allowed viewers to vote on which "supernatural" images were most convincing that ghosts exist. The winner was a ghostly image in a window of
Tantallon Castle in Scotland. Another 30-year-old photo was later submitted showing a figure in approximately the same window by a different tourist. Both images appear to be unaltered.
But that's not why I mention all this. It's what a 'reporter' said about the whole thing that really made it interesting...
Leave it to ChristWire to bend reality askew and leave you thinking, "
oh, no, she didn't..." An
article posted on the site made a few absurd remarks that seemed all too appropriate for this blog:
"Of all pictures submitted, the one that troubled viewers the most was that of a gay spirit that was seen spooking about Tantallon Castle in Scotland. The specter’s sexual preference is obvious as it is wearing very flamboyant clothing, much like you would see a man in San Francisco. The photograph is said to be taken by a gentleman named Christopher Aitchison...
This photograph is scientifically verified as authentic and proves once again that gay spirits roam the Earth, and can lure people to the sinful traps of homosexuality."
Obviously, someone understands NOTHING about formal attire pre-1960. Haven't most people bothered to look at a painting of Shakespeare or glanced at a few woodcuts while being taught about medieval times? And then, there's the assumption that it's male and not female. But honestly, do those few hundred years before the earth and humanity were magically molded into shape by god almighty really matter?? It's as absurd as dinosaurs. Right? I mean, come on. Scientists really need to stop planting these frauds to put down Creationism...
As if we didn't have enough hassle from the Moral Minority when we're alive. Now, when we're dead, we're still trying to earn our toasters?? Oh yeah. That's right. We're
supposedly possessed by demons anyway. I'm just glad the pope doesn't dress flamboyantly...
Oops. Nevermind. The ghost of Liberace called. He wants his wardrobe back.

Stupidity is truly ignorance pursued. I've met more than my share of these types: proud of the fact that they know what they know and need know nothing more. I'd pity them if they weren't so dangerous.
What Cullan said....
Just when you think that some people's weird obsession with homosexuality can't get any more absurd...
Also fascinating is the Jesus Upskirt...
