Evidently, I’m not the only person concerned about mass bird deaths occurring throughout the world. And I’m happy to announce that my hypothesis that the birds were being mass-ruffied and then date-raped to death by actor Channing Tatum is no longer the stupidest.
That honor now goes to Cindy Jacobs, the woman passing a kidney stone in the above photo. Ms. Jacobs is a self-described “prophet” who was ordered by the lord, at age 31, to pick up her cross “and follow him.”
Aside from the fact that the Lord’s command was so ambiguous as to be useless, there were many other reasons why Ms. Jacobs was reluctant to follow this order. In telling her story, Jacobs states that at one point she even got onto her knees, pleading “God, didn’t You notice that I am the wrong gender? Besides, Lord, I don’t like women ministers. They have those high, squeaky, unpleasant voices.”
Apparently, God never did notice she was the wrong gender. Which is understandable, since she looks suspiciously like Eddie Izzard.
At any rate, even though she (probably) has a vagina, Cindy Jacobs became a minister. Which is fantastic, because she has single-handily solved the mystery behind the recent bird deaths in Arkansas. According to Jacobs, God is angry because of the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. So he’s killing all the birds.
The logic goes like this: The birds fell to the ground in Beebe, Arkansas. AND the Governor of Arkansas’ name is Beebe. AND Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was “put out” by former Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton. IT ALL MAKES SENSE!
Anyway, here’s the video:
Well, I’m glad that’s cleared up.
Before you unbelievers scoff, bear in mind that Ms. Jacobs is a “respected prophet who travels the world ministering not only to crowds of people, but to heads of nations,” according to her website. In the past, her prophecies have touched on issues of great national importance. Why, just recently she has warned that if Proposition 8 was repealed, a massive earthquake would hit California.
Hmmm… an earthquake? In California? My god, she really IS a prophet.
Based on those credentials, I admit I find it hard to believe that any “head of nation” would actually be gullible enough to…
But don’t get the impression that Ms. Jacobs is simply a crack-pot homophobe willing to exploit bigotry in order to sway the religiously ignorant. In fact, she is so much more. For example, she enjoys gardening, and spending time with her grandchildren.
Best. Nanook. Ever.

A queer-hating God mind-f#cking us with a shower of dead birds makes a who lot more sense than all those other more simplistic explanations. That Occam guy didn’t know what he was talking about.

Eddie Izzard has better make-up and hair color job that her anyway. I agree with Jen best ever and the Vikings had a bad year because Prince didn’t go to all the home games this year.

Eddie Izzard, of course. I went with the character “Jeri Blank” from the semi-obscure TV show “Strangers with Candy”, played by Amy Sedaris.
