Crucifixation?

Who has the time to get actually crucified these days, anyway?If you can’t get your yule log up unless you pretend someone’s stealing Christmas, then we’ve got your fix right here.

According to his father, a boy* was sent home and ordered to undergo a psych eval for his classwork. In response to the assignment of drawing something that reminds him of Christmas, he drew himself being crucified.

It is our opinion that he should have at most received half-credit for drawing the wrong holiday.

Of course, the teacher didn’t say she was punishing him for his Christianity. She said the eval was because of the “violent imagery.” (Pfft.) Folks, what’s the world coming to if you can’t draw yourself having nails driven through your hands and ankles, a crown of thorns thrust onto your head and starving to death while exposed to the heat and cold, birds pecking at you and soldiers poking you with spears?

*Note: SeriouslyGuys refuses to identify the boy so he won’t be unfairly ostracized, but he’s a second grader from Taunton, Massachusetts and the son of Chester Johnson. But that’s all we’ll say about that.

Please, won’t someone think of the kittens?

In other Virginia Tech related news, Michael Vick is back!

And apparently, the group that he wants to know this bit of news just doesn’t care.

PETA, the terrorists group that just won’t stop, would like a new ad. Apparently, it’s been about two months or so since they did debuted their last one. Their choice for the ad? Michael Vick.

Yeah, that Michael Vick.

It’s your classic tale of quid pro quo. Vick gives PETA their ad, PETA endorses Vick’s return to the NFL, it’s how the world works. Welllllll, someone in their marketing department just remembered who he was. Now, PETA is saying no. Actually, they’re saying more than just no. They’re also saying that Vick should be given a psychiatric evaluation.

The gross irony of the situation?

Daphna Nachminovitch, with PETA said, “We’re not interested in being part of a cynical ploy that’s nothing but public relations.”

Because with pamphlets with titles like “Your Mommy Kills Animals!”, their main concern is clearly not public awareness, but public relations.
