Buddha Boy

Jesus Christ.

Now I know how Christians feel when a bunch of jackballs see Mary in a potato chip and make the whole religion look stupid (which it does a pretty good job of by itself.)

So this kid is missing now. I only half-skimmed a story about it on Yahoo. But apparently, here are the main three things people be saying about him:

1. He is the (or another in a long line of) reincarnation of the original Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama.

PINBACK RESPONDS: No he isn't. Reincarnation is idiotic.

2. Until his recent departure, he meditated without moving, without eating, without drinking, and without (and I don't know why they feel the need to include this) taking a dump since like May of 2005.

PINBACK RESPONDS: No he didn't. Humans need food and water and dooting. Science is pretty clear on this point.

3. He burst into flames and walked from the flames unscathed and then walked off into the distance.

PINBACK RESPONDS: Fuck you.

I dunno what the story with this kid is. It may be a well-choreographed publicity stunt. He may be exceptionally enlightened. I don't know. But this is the only publicity that Buddhism, the One True Religion, gets over here, other than my website which nobody reads and I never update.

So we're all doomed.

Pardon me while I burst into flames.

The Enlightened don't seek media attention, have MySpace accounts, become motivational speakers, or sign book deals. Except for that one tosser I hate who lives in France and motivationally spoke and wrote books about how the only way to cure war was to abolish political boundaries. Like THAT would help.

But how will the suffering masses find the Path!??!

The Path will run with the blood of the infidels. Or cowshit.

No. The Path is littered with the discarded torsos of dead babies that were invested with the dreams and wishes of their parents.

Its also made of delicious pound cake.
