Da Vinci Code

Today’s post is about the Da Vinci Code.

Apparently, according to a new survey : “ …. revealed that readers of the Da Vinci Code book are twice as likely to believe Jesus Christ fathered children and four times as likely to think the Opus Dei is a murderous cult.”

Wow, I wonder if people think the Jedis are real and that there is a ‘Harry Potter’. Or is the level of gullibility tied to only books with religious content ?

Meanwhile, today online states that another group of people besides Christians who have something to complain about the Da Vinci Code. : … The United States-based National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation also expressed unhappiness with an albino monk-assassin in the plot. The movie is said to be the 68th since 1960 to feature an evil albino.”

All this controversy is only putting money into the bank of Dan Brown, making him into a millionaire overnight. Thus, my new money making scheme …

“The Van Gough Mystery”, about hidden messages in The Sun flowers painting revealing that scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard is a time traveling alien clone !! [ cannot lah, later that Tom use his Mission Impossible team to get me how ?]

Ok, how about “The Munch Files” where clues in Munch’s painting “The scream” reveals the Macaulay Culkin is an immortal vampiric vegetarian. Eh, no religion so cannot.

or the “The Mozart Message”. If you record Mozart’s unfinished Requiem backwards and play it through your iPod while you hop on 1 leg, you will hear the secret message : Elvis is alive and living with Bruce Lee, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrision in a mansion in the Bahamas. ( Elvis is a religion. I’ve checked. )

The book will feature trigger happy mailmen, evil mustached villains, beautiful dumb blondes and other stereotypes to drum up controversy.

Any publishers want to pay me an advance first ?

Disclaimer : The above post is a joke only ok. Don't take me seriously. I do not want to go to jail for inciting riots or causing religious disharmony. I do not want Elvis with explosives going to my house to blow it up ok.
