Alex Reads Creation. From the same guy who made going to Walmart fun, and making fun of Twilight entertainment: a different take on Genesis.

Ricky Gervais does it much better.

I watched most of the video but I stopped when I realized Bella and Edward weren't going to show up. The Bible really needs more vampires. That's something Catholics really got right. More drinking of blood and such.

So, right. He's not the guy who made making fun of Twilight entertainment. Cleolinda was doing that a year+ earlier. And better.

Catholics barely sparkle, so there goes your sexy vampire theory, Justinian.

Cleolinda's Twilight coverage is absolutely wonderful.

Does he address who put fifty tons of shit on the foreign office roof?

oops, wrong Genesis

Alex, making my constant inner love for adorable Brits rear its ugly head again, much to the dismay of my husband.

Is that another Highlander category, in which there can be only one?

Or are you simply criticizing the choice of "the" vs "a" -- as in "the guy" vs "a guy"?

I thought he was going to read Creation, Gore Vidal's 1981 epic historical fiction novel.
(Highly recommended).

Whatever dudes, it is totally okay and allowed to like BOTH Cleolinda AND Alex Day, because both of them are fucking awesomely funny people. Not everything is a fight to the death.

I bet some of you are even mac users.

Question: God created light on the first day, but didn't create the sun, moon and stars until the fourth day. Where the heck was the light coming from until day four?

God picked up some adorable little LED sconces at Ikea to tide Him over, orange swan.

Religious folks don't need to explain this because either a) it's allegory or b) God works in mysterious ways, leaving only alternative c) God created the concept of light on day one.

I don't get it either.

Since it doesn't explicitly say when God created Wint-O-Green Life Savers, I assume that that's where the pre-sun light was coming from.

Perhaps God was sparkly? It would explain much.

Well you'll just have to ask Him when you get to heaven! [/mymother]

Certainly not, Twilight leaves acres of room for mockery. I suppose it was an "a vs. the" situation, especially as I hadn't heard of Alex previous to this post. He seems, as mentioned, adorable, British, and sarcastic, all endearing qualities.

His point near the end about The Sims is great.

Moreover I'd expect him to have champagne tastes.

He ordered them online.

That's the Big Bang. It took 3 days or so for the plasma to cool off and coalesce into stars.
