Submission + - SubGenius Cult Launches $25k Fundraiser to Build an Alien Beacon (gofundme.com) 4

Ktaden Legume writes: Rev. Ivan Stang of the Church of the SubGenius today announced that the SubGenius Foundation's Forbidden Science Ministry is launching an initiative and fundraising campaign to construct a device called "The Beacon". This device, it is claimed by the developers, will "decloak the Xist escape saucer presently orbiting Earth and summon it to rescue those willing to make the pilgrimage to the deployment site".

This startling new development in the SubGenius doctrine comes on the heels of an announcement of the discovery of notebooks and blueprints allegedly belonging to church founder J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, describing several unfinished inventions, including the Beacon. The Beacon will be constructed by a team of 'Forbidden Scientists' led by former church CEO Dr. K'taden Legume.

10 or a million, it's the same content douchebag. Public speaking is a forte of those in this position and while it takes some work, "months" is insane, not to mention sacrificing personal health and holidays with family. All I'm saying he's not demoing table-top fusion that he needs to write a masters thesis on, they're refreshes of flippin' iPods and PeeCees that he sells to the masses that, in general, would buy his feces in a bag if he offered it up.

And I got modded troll - for a brief instant in time I forgot why I never post up here....

Comment Months to prep for a keynote? (Score 0, Troll) 320

Seriously - months to prepare? I've seen massive numbers of keynotes in my day, and while they're impressive speeches, they're just that. Why would anyone need more than a couple weeks for this, much less a techno-weenie like Jobs? I've given a talk to 1,400 with a week to take over someone else's content....
