They say that Easter, much like other Christian holidays, is like the corpse of a woman just raped. A little makeup here, a stitch or two in those ripped panties there, some hairspray, and she’s almost back to normal. Nay, give her a new pair of clothes, a facial, and a pedicure to get rid of that nasty skin residue under those broken nails, and we have something even better! So it is with holidays like Easter; underneath the religious context we have bunnies – those little remnants of the pagan holiday so well usurped by the Catholic throne. It’s almost like people don’t remember, and why should they? She looks better than before, and hell, nobody even worships bunnies anymore, anyway.
So it is with mendax.org, whose original purpose is lost like so many episodes of Brisco County Jr – lost to the overwhelming digital sea that even the Internet Archive can’t hope to dig up properly. Like Jesus Himself, only less cool, mendax.org rose from the ashes of its cyber-dungeon, rolled back a rock or two, and now shines with a light much brighter than its traditional black facepaint.
Unlike the church today, however, mendax.org is not burdened by an iconoclastic readership, ’cause we’re still the same old cult of Jews, trying to work out the kinks in this relatively new thing that’s not quite a blogger, but not quite anything else either.
But hey, we’re tryin’.
