Oh joy, oh rapture!

Oh joy -- Look out for Guitar Hero: Metallica later in the year.  One was a highlight of GH3.  I'm looking forward to this and shall be preening my Hydrodynamic Hetfield especially.

Oh rapture -- youvebeenleftbehind.com will contact your sinning friends and family after you've been Raptured, for a small subscription fee.  It's the perfect scam.  Why oh why didn't I think of it?

Genius! Of course, Martin and I just had a discussion about the hows and whys of this service. It prompts some silly conversations.

Surely the domain should be called either youvebeenraptured.com or theyvebeenleftbehind.com?

We have set up a system to send documents by the email, to the addresses you provide, 6 days after the "Rapture" of the Church. This occurs when 3 of our 5 team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system.

Superb!

It gets better

The unsaved will be 'left behind' on earth to go through the "tribulation period" after the "Rapture". You remember how, for a short time, after (9/11/01) people were open to spiritual things and answers. (We are still singing "God Bless America" at baseballs' seventh inning stretch.) Imagine how taken back they will be by the millions of missing Christians and devastation at the rapture.

Yeah. "Taken aback". That's one way to put it.

LMAO

You have to be kidding me. What does the email say, "AHA you lose I'm in heaven. Good luck with the tribulation thing you heathen. kthnxbai"

I do like the fail safe of "When three of our 5 fail to log in." Do they think the other two might not be saved?

What if the person that signed up for the service wasn't saved? What if these 3 out 5 go on vacation and this batch email goes out because they didn't sign in during their two week visit to see the pyramids or the great wall? Then you get the nasty gram sent out, but no rapture. That would be bad for business surely. I still am grinning over the notion of some SOB sat there getting calls from his friends and family going, "So yeah you signed up for this, but like you're still here. A bit overconfident weren't you."

I wonder if my Dad signed up for this yet... remember to keep your three clips loaded.

Pure win.

Forget the religious loons, but definitely bring up Guitar Hero if you get the Metallica bolt-on. Do you think they will release a Dragonforce one?

[andygates.livejournal.com]

I don't think Dragonforce have enough of a back catalogue to make a Best Of yet! There are also plans for an Aerosmith one though!

If you don't bring GH with you when you come up I think Frood will feed you to his flabbits.

Wouldn't dare leave it behind! (remind me before I come up, eh? ;) )
