			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1053" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Religulous" src="http://www.samrethsingh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/405px-religulous_poster1.jpg" alt="Religulous" width="404" height="455" /><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">So, out of all the films I watched this week, the funniest and most entertaining by far was the hugely sacrilegious comedy/documentary &#8216;Religulous&#8217;. It&#8217;s been directed by Larry Charles, the director of &#8216;Borat&#8217; and a writer on &#8216;Seinfeld&#8217; and written and presented by comedian and social critic Bill Maher who&#8217;s best endorsement (for me) comes in the form of a report on Anti-Catholicism which claimed that, following the 2002 clergy sex abuse scandal, &#8220;no one insulted Catholics more than Bill Maher&#8221;. <em>Brilliant!</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">Whatever you views on religion are, you really have to watch this film. It&#8217;s funny as hell. (Though if you&#8217;re the type that believes in the immaculate conception or armies of monkey-men you&#8217;d better have a thick skin)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">Bill Maher (who also presents the film) totally rips into organised religion of all kinds, the film is brilliantly edited for maximum effect and is full of scathing one liners that will make you laugh out loud. Here’s the trailer:</span></p>
<p><span id="more-1041"></span><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/XdkyLrDpaUg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XdkyLrDpaUg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">Here are some other excellent zingers from Bill Maher:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">On the Church: &#8221;The Bear Stearns of organized pedophilia&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">On Pope Benedict XVI (The thug looking, gay-hating douchebag I&#8217;ve written about </span><a href="http://www.samrethsingh.com/2008/12/25/religion1-the-gays0/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">here</span></a><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">): &#8220;he used to be a Nazi and he wears funny hats!&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">P.S. One major mark against Bill Maher is that he apparently co-founded PeTA.(Which I&#8217;ve written about </span><a href="http://www.samrethsingh.com/2008/12/05/as-an-animal-lover/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">here</span></a><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">) </span></p>

I consider myself something of an animal lover. I have on occasion thought of going vegetarian </span><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">but then I am faced with the simple reality that cows are in fact, </span><em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">very tasty</span></em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> animals. Don&#8217;t even get me started about pigs, with applesauce.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">So I am a huge hypocrite. I love my dogs, hate people being cruel to animals and once shot a film about snakes and how misunderstood they are but I </span><em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">have</span></em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> eaten monkey brain soup.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">But you know who&#8217;s &#8216;Animal Rights Activism&#8217; makes me seem like the freakin&#8217; Pope? (Not the current one that looks like a thug and says all </span><em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">the</span></em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> gays are going to hell, though)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">PeTA. Thats right. Fucked up capitalisation that all the cool kids love, PeTA.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">Where do I begin? In Mumbai a few years ago I called them on a Sunday and found out that their animal emergency help-line only works on weekdays,</span><em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> during business hours</span></em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> but I </span><em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">could</span></em><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> press #3 and speak with a PR person. (PR emergencies must be very common in the city then)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">But if there&#8217;s been an animal emergency, say a dog has been run over on the street or a bird flew into a wire, tough titties.</span><span id="more-213"></span><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"><br />
</span> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">But what really gets my goat is their publicity. Yes, the world really needs one more why-is-she-even-famous, skank getting naked &#8216;for the cause&#8217;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">Featured above is Eva Mendes, who was/is something of movie star. Below is the same Eva Mendes at some &#8216;event&#8217;.</span><a href="http://www.petakillsanimals.com/" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-247 alignleft" style="margin: 10px;" title="Fuck PeTA" src="http://www.samrethsingh.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/eva-mendes-fur-1-300x241.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="241" /></a><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"><br />
</span> </span><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">Can you say doublespeak?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">furisdead.com Yeah right. How about mycareerisdead.com ?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3b3b3b;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">And she isn&#8217;t the only one, by far. Just do a Google image search for PeTA and see what comes up. Better still just </span><strong><a href="http://images.google.com/images?client=opera&amp;rls=en&amp;q=peta&amp;sourceid=opera&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;um=1&amp;sa=N&amp;tab=wi" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">click here</span></a></strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">In the meantime, I&#8217;m gonna go read &#8216;Fast Food Nation&#8217; while eating a large, juicy, pepperoni pizza.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #3b3b3b;">P.S. All new posts will be in this, slightly darker font that is easier on the eyes.</span></p>
