Malware Scare

Posted on by

So, if you’ve received one of those “malware warning” reports, I honestly have no clue what’s going on with that. Someone reported that they were getting it on one of their computers but not the other, and that it showed up once but then went away the next time they visited. It’s totally unreproducible — I’ve never seen it, try as I might — and thus impossible to debug.

I’m running the latest WordPress and a friend and I have scoured any custom files for anything suspicious and found absolutely nothing. You’re welcome to view the source of this page and take a look for yourself, but the only scripts are from Google and Twitter.

In fact, McAfee’s web scan thing found no problems, and I’m sitting here on Google’s Webmaster Tools site and it’s saying it’s clear as well, so I have no idea at all why people are getting those warnings and honestly it’s getting just a bit frustrating. So, well, if you see those errors, I’m going to say just ignore them because it’s apparently some kind of false alarm, as verified by Google’s very own damn analyzer even.

By the way, here’s what Google’s site checker has to say as of right now:

Bad Advice

For some reason, I just threw together a rough page for Some Kind of Advice Column or something. I seriously cannot fathom why I just did this, and can only vaguely remember even putting it together (I think I may have finally gone insane), but go ahead and ask away! I’ll try to help you with your problems! What the fuck?

Chick Dissection | The Thing

The thing possessed poor Maria. It drove her to do strange things. But Jesus’ power delivered her so the thing couldn’t hurt her anymore.

I want to read this as a euphemism, and considering how religious and superstitious folk have treated everything from mental disorders to menstruation over the course of human history, I probably wouldn’t be too far off the mark: “The thing” possessed poor Maria, and made her do strange things! (Psst — “the thing” is her menses! Oogabooga!)

Anyway, here’s another terrible Tract for you, hand-crafted by Jack Chick with all the talent, love and beauty of a cat throwing up half a dead mouse onto your bed. Enjoy!

Putting the ‘Fun’ in ‘Fundamentalism’

Posted on by

So, who here has interesting or entertaining stories about dealing with religious kooks of one variety or another? Did your parents join a cult? Have you gotten into a heated and serious argument with a fundamentalist only to find out to your embarrassment that they were actually schizophrenic? Were you ever forced to go to one of those “Gay Cure” camps? Did your religious friends put a bucket of holy water above the door and keep a priest or pastor handy so that they could baptize you when you walked in? Ever find a Chick Tract rolled up inside a condom? Any Catholics out there ever need the Heimlich because you choked on the communion wafer?

Well, I want to hear about it.

The best, most amusing (and most believable — and trust me, I’ll probably be able to smell bullshit when I read it) stories will be featured as posts (with all due credit, of course, plus a link to your website if you have one or a sketch of your favorite pony or whatever you want to accompany it). And, as with FMyLife and other such sites, don’t be offended if your story doesn’t make the cut.

For right now, e-mail them to me using the “Contact” page over on the left (or if you have an account on the site, log in and submit them as posts) — I’ll try to have some kind of form up by the end of the week.

Tell your friends. Seriously this time. I know some of you actually are, and I really appreciate it, but you other guys… it takes thirty seconds. Only slightly more time than it takes to *cough ahem* click an ad on the side of the page and then close the browser window *choke cough ahem*.

Speaking of telling your friends, only TWO MORE DAYS to the END OF MAY 5TH, the HOG CALL DEADLINE. I’m still 249,879 Twitter followers away from my goal! Let’s get on this shit!
