A quick shoutout to the new pope and his less than great choice of pope names. There is something to be said for tradition, and it’s nice to have a connection to the past, but I think after 15 generations it’s time to choose a new name. Pope Benedict XVI. When you stretch a geneology too far, you’re tempting fate. It isn’t scientific, by any means, but take a look at history and draw your own conclusions. France was fine with King Louix I through Louix XV… but then the next guy went and named himself Louix XVI and the people cut off his head. So there’s that.

Continuing the religious theme of the day, I came across a fun website for what seems to be a very fun group of people, The Parents Television Council. I’m at work and haven’t had much time to dig through the site, but even a cursory browsing of the site produced several gems. I looked up a show rating, choosing Alias on a whim. The show recieved a ‘red light’ rating, which I assume to mean ‘watch this show and you will burn in hell’. Among the reasons it received the rating: Foul language this season has included “bitch,” and “son of a bitch.” Along the right column is a section titled Best & Worst TV, which roughly translates to Read This Section First. The best show on television is quite definitively Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Meanwhile, Medium, a show about a crime-fighting psychic, will deliver us all unto fiery damnation. Articles highlighted in the same column include Sickos Celebrate ‘Sin City’ and Moses Vs. ‘Desperate Housewives’. Check out the website, bring popcorn.
