Epic Fail: Word-Play 101

Four weeks into the semester, and I know we're all beginning to feel just a bit overtired and overworked. Worse yet, the last month in world affairs has clearly been a troubling one from a secular standpoint. So, let's take a little break from the doldrums to admire what I personally would contest is the single most wasted pun in the short history of naming a search engine designed to filter out everything but religious content. No, really. I challenge you to squander another cutesy religious double entendre so carelessly.

This is mostly just me making light of one of the most narrow-minded, repugnant attempts to preserve and, indeed, extol the virtue of ignorance that I've ever seen, but you've got to admit... it's a pretty epic fail.

To the proponents of these religious search engines:

If you want to filter out adult content, turn your Google "SafeSearch" on. If, on the other hand, your faith can't hold strong against an onslaught of basic truths about the world, perhaps it's time to re-evaluate what lead you to it in the first place.

...This was, incidentally, a less-than-shocking exposé on my own dorkiness.

This was also an all-too convenient way to add a second article to the illustrious "porn" tag.

I thought this already existed and was called "conservipedia"

Is Conservipedia not a joke? Whoa. I genuinely thought it was a Colbert-esque satirical site.

Poe's law in effect. But to answer you.. no it is not a joke.

Well now I feel foolish for laughing heartily at the last article I read in it. Funny --> fucked up in under a minute.
