News Make a typo, get religion
Posted by Scott Henry @ScottTheHenry on Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 9:40 PM
All you liberals out there better be careful the next time you type in the URL of your favorite news outlet.
Type in www.nytimes.com and you gain access to the latest ravings by Nobel Prize-winning Bolshevik Paul Krugman.
But accidentally type in www.nytiems.com on your iPhone keypad and you're transported to www.bibledesk.com, a self-proclaimed "mega-site" containing countless pages of highly eccentric religious information.
Even the most hardened, godless NYT reader would find it difficult to resist this sales pitch on the website's homepage:
There are app. 10,285 prophecies in the Bible and every one up to this time has come true without one single exception?
Then the site seemingly walks you through each and every one of those 10K Biblical prophecies. My own favorite chapter is "Antichrist moves into the temple in Jerusalem — he proclaims that he is God— he exalts himself."
Good stuff. I think we're all guilty of having, um, exalted ourselves on occasion.
