Angry Monolith

Why, you may ask, is the monolith so very angry? Why has our extraterrestrial Prometheus turned his ire upon us? How have we displeased him so much?

The answer is simple.  American Idol. Joe the Plumber. iPhone fart applications. Millions of dollars spent on penis enhancement. The list is embarrassingly long.

We have been given the gift of intelligence, of rational thought, and chosen to squander it. We have made intelligence a burden, reason an irritation. We have used the immeasurably valuable gifts given to us to accomplish foolish or painfully idiotic ends (not to mention self-destructive ones).

But fear not! The monolith has not returned to shame us into changing our ways, or berate us for our childish ways. The monolith is here to educate. To elucidate and illuminate the reprobate, as it were. Satire, reason and occasionally mockery, are his tools. So read. Enjoy. And be enlightened.
