WARNING: The following contains names of Chinese language origins that have beautiful meanings in that language. At no time will we condone crass comparisons and/or puns noting their similarities to certain American English euphemisms or expressions.

On Wikipedia, Bush More Popular Than Jesus
By Jason Lee Miller - Thu, 09/13/2007 - 12:09pm.
You may have heard already that Wikipedia hit a milestone recently with its two-millionth English article, which was, ironically, about a Spanish TV show called El Hormiguero. As interesting as that is, it's also interesting to note that George W. Bush is officially more popular than Jesus.
Ask Found Jesus, But Doesn't Want To Talk About It
By Jason Lee Miller - Thu, 04/19/2007 - 5:17pm.
If Ask.com hasn't gotten much attention because of their search engine lately, they're at least raising eyebrows through new (and kind of cerebral) ad campaigns. An algorithm that "constantly finds Jesus" but can't really find itself is beside the point – it's all about engaging the public and rousing curiosity, says Ask's VP of marketing.

Ask.com Says It Knows Where Jesus Is
By Jason Lee Miller - Tue, 04/17/2007 - 5:36pm.
I have a sense of humor. But a lot of people don't, not when it comes to Jesus. With that in mind, I think I'd be hesitant (nay, 10-foot-pole distanced) to launch an ad campaign with a Jesus joke in it. Ask.com, it would seem, is just brave enough to try.
Billboards and posters have begun appearing in major metropolitan areas (like New York and San Francisco – most likely because this is riskier in the red states) with the slogan:
eBible Brings You Jesus 2.0
By Jason Lee Miller - Fri, 05/12/2006 - 11:42am.
The second coming? No, silly, Bible-centered social media. Having trouble finding that particularly obscure Bible verse? Lose your Strong's Concordance? eBible.com, still in private beta (shouldn't that be alpha/omega?), promises a Web 2.0 soul searching experience.
George Jetson Spotted On Google Earth

In the third grade the Weekly Reader rounded our eyes to tales of the coming millennium. By 2000, Moller would have flying cars off the ground and into traffic-regulated skies. You could have guessed that a satellite image captured by a Google Earth user had fulfilled that prophecy. But the flying car in the photo published in Britain's The Register looks nothing like what's on Moller's website.

By Jason Lee Miller - Thu, 09/22/2005 - 10:38am.
