Gay Marriage and BestialitySubmitted by Matty Orchard on Wed, 2007-10-31 00:47.
This year I was given the opportunity to do a stand-up comedy set at the Canterbury University Law Review. I finally got the video of the performance and being the shameless exhibitionist that I am, I’ve uploaded it on to You Tube for the entire world to see.

They're Attacking Our Imagination!Submitted by Matty Orchard on Thu, 2007-10-18 05:56.
I’ve just finished watching the latest South Park episode, ‘Imaginationland’. Let’s just say they touch on a couple of subjects I think you may be interested in…A little Jihad and a bit of contract law to boot. I have gone to the trouble of finding a site where you can watch it online because, quite frankly, I’m a very thoughtful person.

Fun With ApathySubmitted by Matty Orchard on Mon, 2007-10-15 08:27.
The results are in and with a voter turnout of 41 percent, New Zealand citizens proved to be a lot more enthusiastic than many predicted. Here in Christchurch, Bob Parker was the clear winner. Parker was pictured on the front of this morning’s Press—alongside his disproportionately hot wife—grinning broadly over the favorable results.

Michael Vick or: Why You Should Learn to Stop Worrying and Love Dog FightingSubmitted by Matty Orchard on Mon, 2007-09-17 12:48.
In April of this year famed American football player, Michael Vick, was accused of helping to orchestrate dog fighting matches over a period of six years. During this six year long enterprise many dogs were reportedly pitted against each other, mauled to death by other dogs or killed by Vick and his associates because they weren’t deemed to be vicious enough for the cruel sport. As I look over the gruesome details of this case I can only ask myself one question… Recent Comments: God owns your soul?!?! — by Elijah on Mon, May 26, 2008 at 10:55 In the eye of the beholder — by dinther on Wed, September 19, 2007 at 17:39 Ha, Matty! — by Lindsay Perigo on Wed, September 19, 2007 at 01:28

My Encounter with Moderate IslamSubmitted by Matty Orchard on Thu, 2007-09-06 10:51.
I was going to post this as a reply in an old thread that Rick Giles started concerning a recent Free Radical cover story. However I ended up spending way more time writing this than I initially intended and I thought I’d just turn it in to a full blown blog post instead. I think you guys might like this story and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let the fruits of a solid 40 minutes of my intellectual labour whither and die in an old thread that no one’s going to revisit.
