Never Been Kissed

Never Been Kissed is a B-Grade chick flick which is currently on TV. Oh joy. It follows a reporter (Josie) who goes back to highschool undercover to get good stories. She sees it as her chance to finally be the cool kid she never was. She then promptly falls in love with her english teacher. As you do.
The moral of the story:
If you're a boring person you need a makeover to turn you into an interesting one.
If you're completely unsuccessful with people, you need your brother to make you cool.
Guys with knowledge of literature are hot.
Writing about how you've never been kissed in a newspaper is a stupid embarrassing thing to do. (A good thing to remember)
I'm afraid this entry may have been slightly tongue in cheek. Ah well.

The Bible (shock horror) (not to be taken seriously)

The following isn’t necessarily serious. I didn’t actually try to find a defining moral in the Bible. This is really just a rant.
Yes, I am biased and not religious. This is my random selection of some of the rules from the Bible. Note: the Bible is the word of God therefore everything in it is correct.

-Don’t eat the fat on animal eat. If you do, you should be cut off from people.
-Don’t approach women for sex when they are having their menstrual period.
-Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
-Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. [I think that’s literal]
-Do not wear clothing woven of two different kinds of material. [God wants us to only shop at Cotton On clearly.]
-Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.
-If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.

Let’s face it. Sure, all my points may be from one particularly nasty chapter of the Old Testament and the New Testament has a completely different feel… but come on. This book is not God’s word specifically. It’s the opinions of the Christians from hundreds of years ago. It is no longer relevant to society.
The Moral: That if you can skip some parts of the Bible then you can skip all parts of the Bible. If you cut your hair and wear clothing of mixed fabrics but use Leviticus as God’s word against homosexuality then you are a knob. Simple as that.

Some Christians are inconsistent.

Pride and Pejudice

Minor Spoilers ahead so if you haven't read/seen Pride and Pejudice, don't read this post.

Formats: Book (1813), Movie (1940), TV series (1980), TV series (1995), Movie (2005).

Summary:
Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by Jane Austen. It is set in the 1800s and follows the drama of the Bennet family. Their lives revolve around the goal of having all five Bennet daughters married (preferably to someone rich like Mr. Bingley or Mr. Darcy). Elizabeth Bennet, the second oldest girl is clever and witty and is the main character. I won’t spoil the whole plot in my summary in the hope that people will read the book if they haven’t already.

Underlying morals:
It is better to have dignity than to have fun.
Do not judge people on their appearance.

Practise makes Perfect.

If you don't talk to people, (even if you're just shy) people will probably think you're a snob.

Don't marry a Mr. Collins.

The Moral of the Story:
Don’t judge people if you don’t know them well.
First impressions almost always suck.

The Christmas Carol

[Picture URL: http://samuelatgilgal.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/christmas-carol-a.jpg]
Summary: classic tale about Ebeneezer Scrooge and his supernatural experience on christmas eve leading him to the real meaning of christmas.

The moral of the story: Generosity is important, especially at christmas. Blood is thicker than water, love is more important that money. Money cannot buy happiness. The Christmas spirit is in all of us if we care to look.

Extra info: Charles Dickens wrote 'the Christmas Carol' to pay the bills (pretty much). Therefore there's an extra moral: Pressure can lead to a good result.
