| Book Update: Win Money Through Literacy |
[12 Nov 2007|09:19pm] |
I should probably be more on top of this kind of thing, but a friend sent me this clip from the Baylor University student newspaper, dated about a month ago:
http://www.baylor.edu/lariat/news.php?action=story&story=47585
The contest encourages participants to submit YouTube videos addressing the content and satirical nature of Breen's book.
First-place winners of the competition will receive $1,000. Second-place winners will receive $500.
I think it's only open to Baylor folks, though, so if you were thinking of satirical YouTube videos as a route to supplement your income, this might not work.
At the risk of sounding atrociously crass, I can't wait to see what they come up with. Sure, James Joyce, you were a famous and successful novelist, but did college students ever make humorous Internet videos to promote "Finnegan's Wake"? I think not!

This is the journal of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) holyoffice, one of the moderators of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) catholicism. If you have any questions or comments about that community that require a moderator's attention, you can contact me by leaving a comment on this journal.
Being a moderator in a Livejournal community is fun and rewarding. Not everyone can claim they've had the glamorous experience of being called a fascist hater of free speech for asking grown men and women not to hurl playground epithets at each other.
Another perk: people who demand a moderator smash their online enemies are often enraged when the moderator instead tries be a calm and polite adult. Then, the full fury of the complainant is turned on the treacherous moderator, with his disgusting fetish for "reason" and "not being a loudmouthed know-it-all."
Of course, not even moderators are perfect. Sometimes, we think we have convinced antagonistic interlocutors to maintain a bare semblance of decorum, only to find them, moments later, competing with each other to deploy the most creative synonym for "Nazi." If that's the case, and an initial intervention by the moderator is unsuccessful, please don't hesitate to contact me again and point me in the direction of the repeat offender, who may indeed have incurred a temporary ban from the community.
Huuuuugs!,

Friends, Roman Catholics, countrymen:
It's been a while since I rapped at ya, as Jim Anchower used to say, and for that I apologize. But I haven't been idle in my offscreen time. In fact, that's why I've returned to holyoffice HQ to make an exciting announcement.
Using the latest in cutting edge 15th century technology, I've devised a way that you can enjoy all the humorousness, sentence fragments, and muddled theology of this blog wherever you go: on the beach, in the bath, hunched over a tepid pot of ramen noodles in an anarchist squat.
That's right: The Holyoffice experience will soon be available in book form!
To celebrate this momentous occasion, and to answer the many questions that are no doubt percolating through your minds, I have characteristically prepared an FAQ.
( Bring on the questions! )
