Some crackpot stares at the sky, sees a hallucination, and like the lemming myth, everybody else rushes to do themselves bodily harm.
And really, don't they know that their Mother Mary is a Goddess form, and therefore they should be staring at the moon? Or is the moon something "dark" and evil and satanic?
Either way, I feel sorta bad for the kids who got suckered into this. A 12-year old only knows what the parents say, but the older folks... morons. Really. Either way, I feel mildly amused in my influenza-induced misery and delirium. Maybe I should distract myself...
Oooh, look! I saw a vision of Mary when I stared at the bright light coming from my... television. Oh, shit... the nun channel! Turn off the TV!
One part of the problem is easy to solve

Of course, it does in some cases. You *must* know about the Darwin Awards, right?

And that's what I get for reading the content of the comment, and not the title. I'm some kind of Speshul today. Oops.
Gah.
From that site:
Gah. Just because some local clown claimed that his statues of the Virgin were crying honey and bleeding oil. Local churches are telling people not to do it, but this is just the harvest for all the other crap that they have been filling people's heads with over the centuries.
