[Nettime-nl] "De Hand van God" |
Die reclame waarbij de 'Hand van God' als optie (nog) niet verkrijgbaar was op het menu (vrij grappig, mi) is nu van de TV gehaald, om de religieuze gevoelens van sommige volksdelen niet te kwetsen. Andere volksdelen, maar dan in Argentina (een land oniendig veel verder dan Nederland in alle opzichten), hebben daar veel minder moeiete mee, getuige het volgend verhaal: "Anyone associated with addiction, alcoholism, eccentricity is assumed to be far removed from godliness. For that person to have a church dedicated to him sounds a bit difficult to believe. But it's true. In the Argentinian city of Rosario there exist the first Maradonian church, the Hand of God church. For the 400 Diegorian brothers who attend the church regularly, the autobiography of Maradona, 'I am Diego', is the Bible. The people who helped him in his life are his apostles. Those who have hindered it are branded heretics. And Diego Armando Maradona [born 30 September 1960] is god. The church says we are living in 44 A.D. (after Diego) i.e. forty-four years after he was born." (...) Dus die optie is er wel degelijk. Als geloof bergen verzet dan zeker ook de bal! (*) Quote from "Bismillah! Amen! Om! - in sports we trust!" by Siddarth Kochar in Gaston Roberge, Cyberbani (Kolkata 2005, forthcoming)
