That PriceRightPhoto one made bad_service. It's so obviously a scam.

Can't view trailers at work. Unless I install Quicktime.

Am sure there is nothing morally wrong with installing Quicktime. On the flipside, am also sure there's nothing morally wrong with giving me access to the damn Run command, and taht's not happening either.

(Spiffy picture. Looks very Keith Woormwood-y.)

Religion confuses me...

"15-year-old boy plans 6-year meditation - believed to possibly be the reincarnation of Buddha."

Ummm, wasn't the whole point of reaching enlightenment that you trancended the cyle of earthly life and were no longer reincarnated?
I mean, as far as I understand, the theory goes that you keep being reincarnated so you can learn all the lessons that life can teach. Once you learn it all, you are enlightened, transcend, and go on to eternal bliss.

So while this boy might be a *new* Buddha, assuming you believe in the religion, it seems unlikely he's the reincarnation of Siddartha (unless, of course, Siddartha did something very very bad with his eternal bliss...)

Unless, of course, you hold that Siddhartha is in fact a bodhisattva and comes back occasionally to help the rest of us sorry sods along...

It's possible, I suppose... but what's the point of being all transcended if you have to go back and put up with the karmicly challenged all over again? Personally, I'd pick a different enlightenment package, maybe one with an eternal tropical beach where you never get sunburned...
