A good Xmas laugh

Posted on December 31st, 2008 in Funny, Music, Movies & TV by michele

2008 has not been a good year for me, and I look forward to see whether there is any better to come in next one… and how to be really merry in this Xmas Season without a good laugh? :-)

If you’ve never seen it, I suggest you get your chance of watching Blackadder’s Christmas Carol… I can even lend it to you, just ask! :-)

Next stop: Auschwitz

Today is the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

60 years later, not only the Declaration itself is largely unattended, but an institution that’s supposed to have been based on Love and Charity for the last 2000 years can afford to say that not really everyone should be granted the same basics rights.

I’m talking about the Roman Catholic Church, of course. The Pope says, for example, that wherever in the world a person can be legally executed just for being homosexual, well that’s not to be changed, it’s not that bad after all.

Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s have a mass hanging in St. Peter Square.

I wonder if maybe the Roman Catholic Church is having second thoughts about the closing of Auschwitz.
