Something from Nothing – it can’t be done!

An extremely curious article from the Sunday Telegraph regarding an indiscretion of opposition leader Kevin Rudd, Australia’s own sun-bleached dog turd -- I hope the metaphor conveys the correct impression -- appeared today, 4 years AFTER the event! But first consider the appeal value of a weathered dog turd compared with a fresh turd! The fresh turd does have some character -- colour and an unpleasant odour. Fresh dog turds also affect human behaviour, most people go to lengths to avoid contact especially stepping in one. Now consider an exposed, weathered, sun-bleached, dog turd – no character whatsoever, no colour, smell or affective power. You may begin to appreciate the panic Kevin Rudd’s PR consultants and advisers experience when attempting to present a characterless nothing as something!
Enter an ad man’s trick to cure all nerdy dork personalities and zero entities; associate a choir boy with a bank robbery or a nun with an indiscretion, preferably of a sexual nature, penetration not required just a hint of scandal will do! Remaining in context with Kevin Rudd, a conservative Christian, have you ever wondered at the phrase, ‘God loves a sinner,’ and exactly what meaning it intends to convey? Also consider the Biblical verse Revelation 3:16
“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.”Not even Jesus likes an ideological zero and Rudd would be the most insipid piece of conservative gastric to have ever hit the political scene in Oz. The keywords attractive to the Christian God (and everyone else) are PASSION, COLOUR and VERVE; Rudd lacks all three characteristics.
