I'm amused much by this since I see it happen at work all of the time in various ways (though almost always while still in house -- though the first time "lorem ipsum" placeholder text made it to production was a lot of fun) but while templates are good they also screw people up.

When we got home today stuck into our door was a nice glossy full color postcard for a new church that has opened (apparently in a Sheraton which seems odd, but what do I know; they seem unaware of the deal god and I have reached wherein I mock and disregard him and he fumes impotently) in the neighborhood.

One side has helpful information such as if I go to the church I'll find "New Friends and Neighbors." I'm not sure where these people will have to live if I don't go. What if it is Fremont? Could the karmic weight of that outweigh my disbelief. Also, if I go to the Grand Opening celebration "everyone and everything is new!" Might be worth finding religion just to walk around saying "What are you? New?"

Anyway, making fun of the new church isn't why I'm posting. The other side of the postcard is why I'm posting. It also gives the first paragraph of this post relevance.



I wonder if they never ever caught that, or if they caught it after printing, looked at how much they'd spent and said "pardon my French Jesus, but fuck it."
