“Due to the phenomenon of globalization,” The Vatican has re-issued the Deadly Sins to include an additional seven, bringing the grand total to a whopping fourteen freaking Deadly Sins. If you weren't guilty before, you probably are now. Good for The Pope for trying to keep the Earth clean and all, but based on this list, we're certainly going to hell. See you there?
The seven new Deadly Sins are as follows:
1. “Bioethical” violations such as birth control
2. “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty
We wonder if using our tote bag when we go to the grocery store, riding a bike and having the opposite of "excessive wealth" counteracts our birth control consumption? Catholics? Anyone?
More importantly, though, will Brad Pitt make a movie called Fourteen? Or Seven More? And will Justin Timerlake remake "Dick in a Box" to be "Head in a Box" for the soundtrack?
And if you've forgotten what the orignal Seven Deadly Sins are, you can find them here.
