Big trouble for big Jesus

June 15, 2010, Monroe, Ohio: A six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ with his arms raised along a highway was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm Monday night and burned to the ground, police said.

The "King of Kings" statue, one of southwest Ohio's most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati. --Yahoo News

Some things are just too poetic for commentary.

I wonder myself

Deodan left this comment on my recent potato chip post:

Which is stranger: That you made a 2-minute video of yourself opening and eating a bag of chips, or that I watched it?

The YouTubes phenomenon is strange, Deodan. Case in point: my Female Ejaculation effort, which has garnered over 2.6 million views (yes, you read that right--2.6 MILLION views). I am stunned at this fact. I only made the silly thing as fodder for this blog. But there you have it: Erin O'Brien's first million.

Nice, huh?

I used to leave every comment up except for the spam. Eventually, I enabled comment moderation and now I delete the moronic insults. There are new comments almost every day. Most are pretty predictable, but what amazes me is how many people complain about the fact that I made the video and that they watched it. Unlike Deodan, they render themselves completely blameless in the transaction. As if I made them watch it ala the Ludovico Technique of A Clockwork Orange fame.

So no, Deodan, I don't know which is stranger. All I can do is offer you one final note: the Female Ejaculation YouTube resulted in this amazing story as well.
