The Beer You've Been Waiting For

Old news to my Jewish friends, most likely, but I just came across this.



Messiah Bold ("It's the beer you've been waiting for!") from the Shmaltz Brewing Company, who have a variety of He'Brew: The Chosen Beer varieties available, including Genesis 10:10 (10th anniversary brew, using pomegranate juice), Genesis Ale ("Our first creation") and Bittersweet Lenny's R.I.P.A. (a rye-based IPA in tribute to Lenny Bruce). All kosher-certified and rabbi-approved, of course.

For more "Gadgets for God", go to Ship of Fools. In the "Just In!" section, I'm particularly disturbedenamoured of "Faith Mountain", which made me break the third commandment when I saw it (uh, not that I strictly adhere to that one all the time...).

Although to be honest, the "Ten Plagues Finger Puppets" is probably more disturbing, particularly the one that stands in for the Death of the First-Born... and even more disturbingly... I want a set.

Bye bye Rummy

Golden Age Bondage

Y'know, whenever people these days reminisce about good old Frederic Wertham and Seduction of the Innocent (1954), the book which contributed highly to the formation of the Comics Code Authority, they usually talk about how wrong-minded he was in accusing Batman and Robin of being a depiction of a homosexual couple. That's an easy straw man to dismiss.

What's less easy to dismiss is his claim that Wonder Woman was a lesbian who engaged in bondage games with her pals. And, really, if you've ever read the early Wonder Woman stories, you'll begin to wonder how exactly William Moulton Marston got away with imposing his fetishes on a 1940s-era comic book-reading public for so long. Seriously, there's practically no subtext to speak of. You read these things while realising that children were their intended audience and you'll start wanting to claw your eyes out.
