The Tennessean newspaper has apologized for publishing a full-page advertisement from an end-times prophecy group that announced “Islam is going to detonate a nuclear device in Nashville.”

The ad didn’t meet the paper’s standards against hate speech and should have been rejected, said Kevin Gentzel, the chief revenue officer of the paper’s parent company, Gannett.

Hate speech is one thing – but how about just plain false advertising?

LOLOL. The “Ministry” of Future for America, (MFA) didn’t think its name through. As any hardcore Red Sox prospects fan knows the “MF” designation is a rather unflattering one as we routinely refer to the hated NY Yankees as the MFY (cursing not allowed on the website).

“Clearly there was a breakdown in the normal processes.”

No, piss-addled shithead, this is your normal process. Just say you’re sorry if others were offended and get on with it.

And it’s very likely that this extraordinary claim won’t even be the strangest or most extraordinary proposition that’s noised abroad this week.

OH but it did, it is called $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Well, #3 is pretty well covered in Armaments 2:9-21, if you account for the archaic phrasing ‘hand grenade’:

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, “O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy.” And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu… [skipping a bit]… And the Lord spake, saying, “First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.” Amen.

But this was written by men of “faith”. How can you not show respect to them. It’s not like they’re some whacked out “flat-earthers” or chemtrail proponents!
