Experts: 100% Of Philly.com Readers Racist

040808subway.png

Let’s play a game today, shall we? Philly.com’s lead story right now is about after-school policing on SEPTA. (30 new cops!) I haven’t written much about the subway attacks despite being a regular subway rider (from Center City!) because it’s a SEPTA story I can’t really blame SEPTA 100 percent for. And that’s no fun.

We all care about El safety now because a white person died, so SEPTA is adding 30 cops to police the subway between 2 and 5 p.m. (How many will be at York-Dauphin station, I wonder.) Philly.com currently has it as its lead story and (oh no) they are allowing people to write comments. After yesterday’s Sierra Leone boy/Chris Wheeler fiasco, one can only assume roughly 200 percent of the comments posted to this story will contain code words old white people say because they can’t say “nigger” in polite society anymore. Aww, too bad, white people!

Anyway, let’s track this comment thread throughout the day. it’s already at a critical mass where I believe comments will start to be deleted, and then people will cry censorship and wah wah wah. It’s like the Courier-Post comments section all over again!

Monopoly For Christians Released

032707gameboard.jpg

Hey kids! Tired of your Xbox, your Internet, your Nintendo, your interactive games where you can battle your Pokemon (or whatever) against some little snotnose in Japan?

Of course you are! So instead of playing high-tech, interactive games, how about you sit down with a nice board game! I have just the one. It’s called Inheritance. You’ll love it. It’s just like Monopoly, only that in Monopoly the purpose is to bankrupt your opponents and acquire all the cash in the world, while the purpose of Inheritance is to help the poor and learn about King Solomon’s pillars of wisdom. Sounds like a blast!

Be sure to play Inheritance, and then look for the sequel, Inheritance II. It’s just like Candyland, only that instead of gathering gumdrops (or whatever) and getting to the finish, you memorize all of Noah’s sons’ names.
