Virginia’s Mystical Druids
Sep 1st
Somewhere on a hilltop near Natural Bridge, Virginia sits a mystic spot likely built by druids who came to earth on a spaceship. It is Foamhenge. Like Stonehenge, but more modern. Easier to carry and build. Seriously, its a real place. And it has a magic-missile shooting Merlin statue too!
Cartney tested the material to confirm that yes, it is indeed made of foam. He dug his nails into it and ripped out two tiny fistfuls of styrofoam while I shouted, “Cartney, NO! This is a state treasure to. . . . . Well okay, just don’t let Mommy see you do that.”
You can see more about this styrofoam replica of Stonehenge here. The site tells the story of Mark Cline, the creator of foamhenge:
Mark, always the entertainer, climbs atop what he calls the “altar stone” and tells us of his plans to celebrate the summer solstice. “One of the guys suggested that we sacrifice a virgin, but we couldn’t find any around here,” he wisecracks. Then he launches into an improvised Mick Jagger dance and tells us that he met his current wife when he performed this same routine in a local bar. “She was the only woman who didn’t try to grab my ass.”

These guys are pretty heavy in the rotation on my iPod. This is one of their more recent songs.

Sep 1st
WTF WWF? The World Wildlife Federation has an ad showing dozens of jet liners screaming toward New York City on 9/11. And for some reason the text of the ad says “The tsunami killed 100 times more people than 9/11. The planet is brutally powerful. Respect it. Preserve it.”
The WWF, which actually does some fairly decent work to preserve endangered habitats around the world, is suing the ad maker because they didn’t approve of the ad’s release. But it certainly is not farfetched that the extremists in WWF would stoop to something like this. PETA does this sort of stupid imagery all the time.
From HotAir here:
Wow! Sounds like the Earth is the real terrorist. I propose choking it to death with carbon dioxide! If we implement cap-and-trade, the really brutal terrorist wins.
So what if this ad was a comparison between the Germans and the Tsunami in World War 2? The slogan would be “Germans slaughtered twenty times more jews in concentration camps than were killed by the Tsunami. Respect it. Preserve it.” So what is the point of the ad? Might makes right?
UPDATE: Maybe the point is who has the biggest lawyer? Somehow WWF won the rights to the acronym from the old World Wrestling Federation. Trench reminds us with this image:
