Pop Culture and Freemasonry: Cracked

I want to thank Bro. John for pointing this out to me. We (and by we, I mean Freemasons) have been mentioned on the website Cracked.com as one of five "pathetic" groups that people believe are controlling the world. The article looks at the way people view these groups. The article conflates both the Illuminati and Freemasons into the same category.

My favorite quote:

The historical Illuminati (yes, there was an actual organization called that) was an 18th Century group of Bavarian humanists and free thinkers, basically the 18th Century's version of pothead college professors.

If you want to check out the article, you can find it here. (Warning: the language is both explicit and not politically correct.)

Thanks for the mention. I owe you a blog post, once my world calms down.

BTW, the CAPTCHA to post here was 2bal3ain. Maybe we DO run the world. Cue the Stonecutters' song from the Simpsons.
