[We're still here?] Yawn.

I guess we're long past the point where kissing a religious statue and bringing it to life is enough to create controversy, but still not at the point where we have evolved beyond "the church's" sphere of influence. Here's the latest chapter in the saga, but without the soft drink commercial to go with it.

'Average man' committed to the traditional definition of marriage pens note indicating that he will have no choice but to divorce should gay marriage be legalised in Australia.
I'm not even going to bother to link to the original "letter", published and earning the front page of the Canberra city rag. If you want the background, visit here instead.
Suffice to say, that the "newspaper" in question knew full well the brouhaha that would explode in publishing that letter, and to capitalize on it no less, made the decision to annoint the opinion piece the position of cover story. Internet loses its shit over it, and couple unanimously considered to be a pair of dicks. What's more disturbing about this, a typical right  wing divisive stunt, is that the city rag made no attempt to clarify the links of the writer to the Australian Christian Lobby, nor to mention that Mr Jensen, he who values his marriage so much that he is ready to divorce for social political reason, is actually Reverend Jensen. Shady all round.
