Happy Towel Day

An anonymous reader writes "While Douglas Adams continues his attempt to set a new record for the longest extended lunch break, geeks all over the universe pay tribute to the beloved author by celebrating the tenth edition of Towel Day. Towel Day is more alive than ever. This year Richard Dawkins, one of Adams' best friends, has tweeted a Towel Day reminder to his numerous followers. The CERN Bulletin has published an article on Towel Day. There has been TV coverage and there will be a radio interview. The Military Republic of the Deltan Imperium, a newly formed micronation, has recognized Towel Day as an official holiday. In Hungary several hundreds of hitchhiker fans want to have a picnic together in a park. And there's a concert, a free downloadable nerdrap album, a free game being released, the list goes on and on."

    Fuck southpark their 'humor' is puerile and barely funny at best, their constant ham-handed Aesops are a paean to the golden-mean fallacy and the show lost what little originality it had years ago.

    You (and hargrand and Jarick C-Bol) are ignorant, superstitious fools, and I'm laughing at what morons you all are. You are pathetic, barely worthy of the derision you so eagerly invite.

    Happy now? Give me your "turning the other cheek" theater again, dipshit.

    Typical religious zealot hypocrisy. I didn't start this little intolerance fest, YOU did. Perhaps YOU should start practicing some tolerance - you know, like you guys PREACH (but never actually practice).
