Morning bumders! Good long weekend? That's nice. Don't feel you have to tell me about it.So this morning, I saw an advert for Christian only dating website. The gist of their advertising slogan was 'God wants you to join us so we can introduce you to the man/woman/non-deviant he wants you to marry'.
When was the last time you saw someone taking massive advantage of the gullible?

Just seen something, thought this might amuse you"The majority of homophobic attacks are never reported," says the gay-rights campaigner Peter Tatchell. "Low-level assaults could easily be multiplying under the radar. It can be even worse for prominent gay figures like Philip. I myself have been attacked more than 300 times in the past 20 years. As a result, I suffer from permanent brain damage."
Well, that's hardly news...
