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.
