Oh, what a frabjuous day. Not only is it my last day at my day job, but this popped up on my morning Technorati search:
Podcasts Part 2: Science Fiction or Satanic Fiction? (http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/2006/05/podcasts-part-2-science-fiction-or.html)
Tristan, a guest blogger for Shelley the Republican, is on a crusade against podcasting as the next Hot New Immoral Thing. His first article (http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/2006/05/podcasts-part-1-liberal-medias-next.html) on the subject is all about the iPod and why it’s a ticking heathen time bomb:
Apple neglected to mention that every iPod ever sold included a hidden feature called “Podcasting†which they unveiled in mid 2005.
This feature allows liberal media direct access to young Americans without any of the safeguards that make TV channels like Fox News fair and balanced. A quick scan though some of America’s most popular podcasts is proof enough that a dangerous liberal minority have seized control over this influential channel.
Wow. Just wow.
But the second piece (http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/2006/05/podcasts-part-2-science-fiction-or.html) is the beautiful one to me, because he reviews my very own Escape Pod (http://www.escapepod.org) to reveal that we’re leading children down the path of perversity and occultism. He cites a few stories as examples. I don’t know what the “industry standard CAPAlert scoring system†is, but EP apparently scores an 8.2 on it, which means we’re evil incarnate or something.
The blog post wraps up with a petition to the FCC to regulate podcasting, and tips for what to do if your child has become “addicted to science fiction.â€
This is my favorite review ever. Now I know, for certain, that we’ve Made It.
