Sharing Lent with Others




  2. It can’t be a repeat.



George Lucas: 40 days without editing Star Wars

It’s difficult to leave what many people consider to be your greatest movies ’70s-tastic when making new movies is hard, but dammit, George, try it for Lent. Red Tails wasn’t bad, but if you’re really having trouble, try revamping some of your movies that really need help, like Howard the Duck or Radioland Murders. (On a sidenote: thank you for recognizing that Willow is pretty much perfect as is.)

And you won’t be alone, because I’m also challenging Ridley Scott to leave Blade Runner alone for 40 days … or at least until Legend gets a re-edit.

Westboro Baptist Church: 40 days without picketing

I’m not gonna lie: your method of protesting has worked to get your name out there. But, unless you’re in the seventh grade, it’s impossible for everything to be gay. What I’m saying here is that, protesting Whitney Houston? The Super Bowl? At this point, you’re stretching.

So, maybe for 40 days, you could try something new: Christian stuff. Did you know that millions of Bible-reading folk have split their time between hating homosexuals and feeding the poor? And if you decide after Lent to go back to picketing military funerals, at least you can do it with the feeling of having helped your fellow man. (Or would that also be “gay?”)

Rick Santorum: 40 days without talking about sex

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum would like you to know he has ideas about the economy and stuff, but, you know, sex keeps getting in the way. For a procreative-only sex kind of guy, he spends more time considering ways for people to get it on without pregnancy than the Bangbros.

We now grade all penises on the Santorum Scale.

Rick, take it from a guy with the same first name: at best, you’re alienating the parts of America that enjoy sex (all of it except you), and at worst, you’re turning the nation on with all your dirty talk. Let’s dial it down for 40 days. You know, in addition to whatever else you’re giving up for Lent.

So, that’s the list, but I don’t consider it anywhere near complete. What would you suggest and for who?

  1. Can we suggest to The 700 Club and The Trinity Network that they shut down all programming for 40 days, refrain from begging people for money, and spend the time in prayer, feeding the hungry, giving shelter to the homeless and all those other things that real Christians are supposed to do?

  2. Can we just have 40 days or maybe 40 years without Rick Santorum. You are right though. For a guy who hates sex and thinks it leads to sin and social decay, he just thinks a lot about it. This was a great post Rick!
