Weekly Review #123: Hunky Jesus, Genital Jousting, and Derpy Potter
I attended Amen for Hunky Jesus in Golden Gate park this week, a hilarious competition by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (gay men dressed as nuns) to determine who is the hottest guy dressed up as Jesus out there. Hilarious.

And yet the core mechanic (and 8 local players! woo) looks incredibly fun. Too bad you won't be able to play this with the family - they should make a SFW version.
Also this female journalist was reminded of a great Margaret Atwood quote: "Men are afraid of women laughing at them, and women are afraid of men killing them." Scarily true.
