That's right.
On Saturday, October 17th, the Duluth News Tribune splashed the front page with a mammoth picture of a church, pairing it with a story of a priest who had an illegitimate child twenty years ago.
DNT's blatant bad taste then came under the attack of ragStalker.
The effect?
Within 2 hours, the story vanished.
The DNT pulled the article completely.
This is what happens when bad ideas are soundly beaten with the truth.
This is the weapon that fell a front page article:
God is guilty.
After all, he founded The Church.
News-Tribune understands this. Why else would you drop a half-page pic of a church on the front page of your paper?
Of course, God's error was in filling churches with human beings. Whatever was he thinking?
At least we're dealing with old problems here.
Anyone who's hip with the times knows that if you pare-down the message, pop-up a playpark, and place an espresso machine at the altar, people will relax, become sinless, and virtually cease to be human, helping to minimizing our global dependence on God.
If only DNT would embed a God app in their Sunday edition, then we could just skip the church thing altogether.

Transistor Sep. 28 - Oct 04, 2009
Transisitor: 5 YEARS! (Gosh!)
Front cartoon: The frisbee guys are portrayed as stoners. A sophmoric reference to Dylan's stoner song... the cartoon would be better if the drug references were either eliminated or made far more subtle. Explicit drug references are so... tired.
Novelty Theater: I've read this before & while it's nifty to have something a little different in that it's science-fiction, this style is just plain work to follow- not that I mind i little work, but this requires far too much effort, I think.
Sunday football ad: It's sad what this paper has to do to lose money. Uh, people will like the shapes of their bodies and, like, that'll be cool. sigh.
Pizza Luce band ads: As is often the case, graphics are swiped, probably from a google image search. Yawnskers.
The daily event listings: I like this. Easy to follow and well done.
Duluth does Woodstock: looks interesting.
Zinema2 ad: I like this place, but 7.50 a ticket? That's madness. And I was reading about how all profits go back to the Zeppa foundation or whatever. I guess I don't see these places as ever being able to make a profit, so who foots the bill in that case? Just curious.
That said, Having an idie theater in town is the coolest thing that's happened here in a few years. Hope they bring a good variety of films..
CTRLALTDULUTH- Kind of a thought provoking article on what the ZInema2 means to Duluth's downtown. Too bad, the writer falls back on some derogatory terms and a cynical attitude about people. She seems to answer her own question of "IS life worth living?" with a "No."
Global Village ad: Nice. An original hand-written ad.
How to break in to Duluth's music scene: This on-going series has been informative and probably helpful for area musicians.
Curmudgeon's coner: This guy is a pretty funny read. But the potty-mouth? C'mon man. How about some effort toward finding better, real words to express your emotions. Then there are the attacks on what he calls Christian Socialists. Curiously he does not separate the terms throughout the article. A Christian, a follower of Christ, necessarily promotes the social well-being of others. Does this make Christians socialists? I don't know. Seems to me his attack ought to be leveled against socialists, but since he aims at Christianity as well, I think a person needs to be on guard against his ideas. He all but mocks the concept of salvation and his style clearly is not in-line with Christianity. The ideas seem to designed to confuse the reader and leave them with negative feelings towards Christians. Appropriately, an ad for the last place on earth appears below the article.
Transistor: an essential guide to what's happening, but crowded with too many seedy articles.
