In regard to the purity test below, did anyone else notice anything strange concerning the checkable options in the final section? They swiftly go from something like double penetration bestiality to piercing your ear. I have been wondering, for almost an entire day, how “piercing your ear” falls into the worst-of-the-worst category. Isn’t piercing your ear something that ten-year-old girls eagerly take part in? I’m not saying ten-year-old girls can’t have ugly metal crap dangling from their ears and participate in double penetration bestiality, I mean, who am I to stop them, but in relation to this purity test making any sense at all and in the even greater scheme of human beings holding the title of The Ultimate Category-Creating Species because we so need to make sense of our environment, I am confused. Unless piercing your ear really is just as disgusting as practicing necrophilia on your dead Aunt, and thus I have been right to avoid having sparkly crap dangling like the last star to ghetto Bethlehem against my jaw-line. My mom has the kind of bottom-line brain that could easily answer this for me. And this is something I just cannot ask her, sadly.

that so did not answer my burning question.
:(
Posted by: caroline at July 26, 2006 4:47 PMisn't there a passage in the HOLY BIBLE that basically says mutilating yourself (piercings, tattoos) is sinful? i believe it has something to do with intentially modifying God's look-a-like creations...
Posted by: graeme at July 26, 2006 7:54 PMyes of that i'm aware--being raised catlicking and all that. but i have a hard time imagining that the makers of this scientific and pop-culturally bent test would swing that way when making their hierarchy of debauchery. though there are no other solutions i can think of, so even though that one doesn't totally fit in the scheme for me, i guess it'll have to do. since no one else has come up with anything brilliant yet.
Posted by: caroline at July 26, 2006 8:27 PMMy theory is that it (like some of the questions in the earlier sections) were meant to lull you into a false sense of sinfullness. ("Haha, I DO have pierced ears, I am so hard-core!") You know, so that the teenagers wouldn't feel so badly if they didn't check any of the other boxes. Tricky bastards, those quiz writers.
Posted by: Edmorus at July 27, 2006 2:23 AMyeah, i don't know about that either. it seems too obvious a ploy. if anything, they would have put the ear piercing in the earlier sections, instead of right at the end where it is so very glaring. i think my final conclusion is that it's: ONE BIG JOKE. which is: USUALLY THE CASE, HUH? ;)
