Demi’s body has been snatched

By Symon ⋅ November 29, 2009 ⋅ 8 comments

A couple of posts ago, I commented on a recent magazine cover shot of Demi Moore and how her thigh was not quite the same (a photoshop blunder). Well folks… the plot thickens. It just so happens that another image has arisen which shows perhaps that Demi’s body is not Demi’s body at all. It [...]

Fake flowers, butterflies and thighs

By Symon ⋅ November 21, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

I heard a great message last night about the real world. The gist of it was – how this ‘real’ world isn’t all that real… more fake than real actually. Plastic flowers look real from a distance, but plastic flowers will never ever be real, no matter how well crafted they are. This world is [...]

Don’t get sucked in… pass it on

Did you know that the word gullible has been taken out of the English dictionary? Actually no, it hasn’t, but you’d be amazed at the amount of people that have responded “Really?” to that verbal statement over the years. A cheap and nasty joke I admit, but good enough entertainment nonetheless. You’d be amazed at [...]

By Symon ⋅ November 16, 2009 ⋅ 8 comments

I’ve just finished yet another Ted Dekker book. In two words… pure awesomeness. Without any exaggeration – I wholeheartedly believe that Ted Dekker is one of the best writers currently on the planet – and it just so happens that he is a Christian. Naysayers.. don’t stop reading this post just yet… Many of you [...]

Mary Poppins. Hide your children

By Symon ⋅ November 11, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

I’ve never seen Mary Poppins in its entirety. Parts of it have always given me the creeps. Perhaps it’s is because of the not so subtle (down right scary) imagery hidden throughout the movie. Don’t be deceived by it’s cute Disney musical facade with the ever so innocent Mary (fresh from singing in the Swiss [...]

Giant devil fish, rays and panic attacks

By Symon ⋅ November 10, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

Ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated by rays… PaislyeJade has been terrified by them. She remembers an obviously doctored photo in an old local surf shop of an areal view of a dingy dwarfed by the shadow of a giant manta swimming beneath it. The imagery that fuels nightmares. In our [...]
