IRREVERENT Magazine is a news satire magazine: we were doing bogus news before it was popular.
FUKUSHIMA - Following the near-meltdown of the Fukushima reactor, residents have reported a "giant lizard" creature in coastal waters.
KENTUCKY - To create additional jobs, a theme park based entirely on the Babylonian creation myth is set to open mid-July.
VATICAN CITY - The Pope's newly blessed "iNdulgence App 2.0" has seen brisk sales, but not without controversy.
Version 1.0 of the app -- sold from iTunes, Android Market and for the Blackberry -- offered to "relieve the temporal punishment" of the user's sins for a sliding scale, tax-deductible tribute, depending on the sin's severity. Fully Vatican-2.0 compliant, the app proved to be a mega-hit among Catholics worldwide, with reported tributes in the tens of millions of euros merely weeks after initial launch. Although an instant hit, critics have called the app - and especially the latest 2.0 version -- an "offense in the eyes of God."
"This is nothing more than selling absolution for profit," said Martin Koenig, author of eFormation, a popular "anti-iNdulgence" app. "This is a clear abuse, and cannot be tolerated anymore!" Unlike it's competitor, eFormation does not offer absolution, but urges the user to attend mass -- typically at a nearby Lutheran congregation -- and do a series of randomly selected "good deeds" to "repent in the eyes of God."
