An Atheistic Examination of the Culture of Death
Guess Who's Not Coming to Dinner - Thu, Jul 3, 2003
"I'm an atheist, and that's it.
On the other hand, maybe not:
NOTE: A number of the cartoons above depict Spencer Tracy awaiting dinner with Miss Hepburn. However, at the time of his death, Mr. Spencer -- a Catholic -- was still married to his wife of 34 years, Louise Treadwell. If Mr. Spencer fornicates with Miss Hepburn in Heaven, it will be adultery.
Furthermore, the "who" in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" was Sidney Poitier, not Miss Hepburn. Apparently the cartoonists realized that the day Mr. Spencer died, June 10, 1967, was two days short of the Supreme Court's ruling striking down miscegnation laws. However, Miss Hepburn died six days after the Supreme Court legalized homosexual sodomy -- so if Mr. Spencer can fornicate with her, he can certainly fornicate with Mr. Poitier.

"Guess who's coming to dinner..."
It's like the new "all your base".

I will use these images as proof that the cartoonists behind them have absolutely no respect for Ms. Hepburn or her belief. I suggest everyone write to the papers which published them and voice the horror you felt when you saw first saw them. Make sure to ask pointed questions, like "will these uncaring bastards show Joe Lieberman welcomed into heaven by Jesus? George W Bush ushered by Mohammed to his seven virgins?"
Let us not stand idly by while we are so fiercely and prejudicely attacked!
(Ooh, I am in such a mood today...)

And is that Andy Rooney in the second panel? I didn't know he'd passed on.

Kafka: "I didn't know he'd passed on."
Did you mean to say that? Interesting euphemism. I would have said: "I didn't know he'd been made into worm dirt." ;)

I dunno, in the first one it looks like she's gonna kick some Godly ass.
And I like how the fourth cartoonist posits the theological position that Heaven orbits Saturn (although, I'm not sure why there's a door but no wall.)

More Godly ass kicking... And blasphemy! (Also, Heaven as invisioned by Larry Flint.)

ZroKewl: I actually did mean to say that. Just like I meant to confuse Andy Rooney for Spencer Tracy. That's how I am; I go around meaningfully saying and thinking the incorrect thing.
Now, ayone know why Henry Kissinger is sitting behind the false door in the fourth panel? And is that a glass of Cianti?

Jean Paul: RE Larry Flint, Bogie does appear to have a hardon.
And what, angels go around scribbling names on our clothing? Don't they have name tags up there?

"Mr. Spencer -- a Catholic -- was still married to his wife of 34 years, Louise Treadwell. If Mr. Spencer fornicates with Miss Hepburn in Heaven, it will be adultery."
It wouldnt exactly be adultery, wedding vows usually include "till death do you part", so since he's dead technically they arent married anymore

i can only see one of the pictures....(can't see the emoticons either)...
can you do something about that, RA?
[Edit] July 4, 2003
AMEN!

EVA: I will ask my techie what the problem is after the holiday is over and get an answer I won't understand. In the meantime, you can follow the link to the other cartoons. As to the emoticons: the first is open-mouthed horror; the second is very sad; the other is and embarrassed, faux-innocent smirk (with a halo); the fourth is an ironic wink.

thanks, RA...you are so sweet....god bless you, kindhearted one...

That is the nature of believers. To make someone a saint after they are dead and cannot stand up for their beliefs. This is truly sad. If she could see what they were saying about her, she'd be kicking someones ass.

Cain's right not only on a contractual standpoint but from a Biblical standpoint, by the way. Mark 12:25 (and therefore Luke and Matthew too) explains that there is no marriage in the Kingdom of God.
So Spencer and Hepburn could bonk away for all eternity. That is, if Hepburn were going to Heaven, which we all agree she isn't.
