I know we usually keep it highbrow liberal politics here at C&L, but bear with me.
I think we may be headed for end times.
There is nothing in my personal theology that allows for fire and brimstone. The book of Revelation is not the gospel in my world-view.
But just consider a very few of the events of this year.
David Bowie died. Prince died. Donald Trump is heading a major political party.
I mean, come on! They released "Ride Along 2" AND "Zoolander 2" in the same four week period!

Presenting Kentucky Fried Chicken edible nail polish.
In line with its spirit of innovation, KFC Hong Kong unveils their new 'Finger Lickin' Good Edible Nail Polish' range, keeping the brand literally at their customers' fingertips while savoring their delicious signature chicken.
This limited edition edible nail polish was created as a tribute to the world famous "It's Finger Lickin' Good" slogan.
KFC's signature flavors - Original Recipe and Hot & Spicy - have been carefully formulated from natural ingredients into edible nail polish and packaged in a stylish glass bottle and minimal box with over gloss details to appeal to young consumers' love of food and fashion. Simply apply and dry like regular nail polish and then lick - again and again and again to taste why the world's favourite chicken is Finger Lickin' Good.
So far it's only available in South Korea and it's limited edition, so don't make a special trip to WalMart, Amber Lynn! They don't have it!
Even AdWeek thought this might be an April Fool's Joke, but no. International advertising conglomerate Ogilvy and Mather is getting a payday off of this perversion, so yeah, it's real.
The end times are upon us, people. The apocalypse is on the tip of your fingers, and it
tastes
like
chicken.
PS. Here's a 17 second utterly meaningless music video that accompanied the "Launch" of this harbinger of impending cataclysm. I'd say get your affairs in order before you watch this, but really, why bother?
