Jesus Christ – Superstar

Today Is Good Friday – That said, there won’t be too much activity around these parts. But for now, let’s chat about what Good Friday is. Also known as Holy Friday, Black Friday, Great Friday, is a holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, his death at Calvary, and his Resurrection from the grave. The holiday is observed on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and often coincides with the Jewish observance of Passover. [goodfriday]

Could The Pope Be Tried For Sex Crimes? – The Vatican says the pope, as a “head of state,” is immune from legal action. But U.N. judge Geoffrey Robertson says the Vatican is wrong—and that the pope could be tried for systemic sex crimes. Well may the pope defy “the petty gossip of dominant opinion.” But the Holy See can no longer ignore international law, which now counts the widespread or systematic sexual abuse of children as a crime against humanity.

Sandra Bullock Paparazzi Feeding Frenzy – What, you ask, is it like to be Sandra Bullock? Here’s a video from her first public outing since Jesse James’ affair, when she drove to her money manager’s house on Wednesday. Warning: Camera flashes may induce epileptic seizure. Seriously, you have NEVER seen anything like this. And howz the two minute mark, where the paps start tuning about her husband, Jesse. Blind. [youtube]

Die Burger Throws The Words “Fucking Hell” Into a Headline – PLEASE don’t tell Virgin Active about this, otherwise they will ban internet access to Die Burger in their gyms (even though they acknowledge something far worse is going on in their own bathrooms). But it should be noted that Die Burger has joined the swearing gang, and aren’t shy of headlines either! [dieburger]

French EuroDisney Rattled By Staff Suicides – Disneyland Paris is investigating after two park employees committed suicide in the past six weeks, under working conditions which a trade union described as “humiliating”. Disneyland Paris directors have denied the suicides were work-related and said that it should not be made “a symbol of something it isn’t.” Hmm, I smell a rat. Oh my God, Mickey! I do apologise!

Have Two Phone Numbers On One Cellphone – A new iPhone app (ja, again – sorry!) allows you to setup a second phone number on your phone, and even allows you to make calls free of charge over your wi-fi connection. That’s if you’ve got uncapped broadband. It can even turn an iPod Touch into a full-blown cellphone!v [yahoo]

So This Chick Wants A New Car – Unreal vibe going on here as Briget needs 500 people to give her R260 so she can buy a new car. But WAIT, it’s very clever – you get to add your name and message and picture to a special webpage, which will be advertised on the side of the car. So you can point and say, “I helped that chick buy that car.” Seriously, it sounded shit ’til I checked it out. She’s quite cute too. [myr260car.co.za]
