George Bush to terrorize world with emails

Jackson West — Wed, 14 May 2008 19:40:00 EDT

The president of the United States, George W. Bush, has been banned from sending emails during his term in office, with officials citing security concerns. That's all about to change once he's termed out of office — soon friends and supporters can expect a steady stream of "You know you're a redneck when" forwards, links to GodTube videos, and the like. It's only a matter of time before he sets up a Facebook profile and starts Twittering, which I'm pretty sure was predicted in Revelations to be one of the signs of the impending rapture.

God is on side of Web's "fastest-growing site"

Are even the mildly lewd antics of Lonelygirl15 too risqué for your tastes? Then GodTube is your answer. GodTube may not be as sexy or well-edited as say, a rap dedicated to Harry Potter, but it's still reported to be the fastest growing site on the Internet. It goes to show that pandering to righteousness could be as promising as exploiting bile. I'll have to take this idea up with the boss.
