One Born Every Minute

Jesse at Pandagon writes about the Cookie Diet, which has to be one of the best diet scams I’ve seen in years. I went on the cookie diet myself,many moons ago, back in college. And I lost about 15 pounds very quickly.

I ate two Chips Ahoys for breakfast, two Chips Ahoys for lunch and three Chips Ahoys for dinner, along with all the TAB I could drink. I had to quit it however, when I fainted in English Lit.

This new cookie diet works on the same principle. Except the cookies cost a lot more than a a bag of Chips Ahoy. And they almost certainly don’t taste as good. And it’s not like Chips Ahoy are all that tasty either.

Meanwhile, Pam discovers a scam I can really get behind:

Christians who believe they’ll vanish from Earth in the rapture can now hire an atheist to care for their pets.

For $110, Eternal Earth-Bound Pets offers a 10-year contract guaranteeing that an atheist will adopt the pet that’s left behind by its raptured owner. Additional pets can be covered for $15.

Eternal Earth-Bound Pets has guaranteed atheist reps in 22 states (NC is a new addition, as is GA).

We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you’ve received your reward. Our network of animal activists are committed to step in when you step up to Jesus.

You’ve committed your life to Jesus. You know you’re saved. But when the Rapture comes what’s to become of your loving pets who are left behind? Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind.

…Unfortunately at this time we are not equipped to accommodate all species and must limit our services to dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and small caged mammals. [Please note: we can now offer rescue services for horses, camels, llamas and donkeys in NH,VT, ID and MT ]

No refunds if Jesus calls you home before The Rapture.
