      I knew a guy like ten years ago who said he wanted to write for the onion. I asked him to give me some headlines and they were all basically like this. So I wonder if he settled.

            Boy oh boy then do I have an article for you

            "25 Bacon Flavored Foods the World Doesn't Need"

            Featuring winners like this:

            1. Firehouse Flavors Bacon & Cheese Crick-ettes

            It is said that at least 2 billion people worldwide eat insects regularly, and scientists tell us that they’re a nutritious and an environmentally friendly food source. Ohio’s Firehouse Flavors, which sells a wide range of flavoring mixes, seasonings, and spicy foods, is apparently trying to lure us all into the insect camp by enhancing crickets with bacon and cheese (among other flavorings) and positioning them as crunchy snacks. Sorry. We’ll just have the Doritos, thanks.

            ...

            "Hey, we came up with a high-protein alternative to meat that tastes surprisingly good!"

            "no, fuck you"

            "It's bacon flavored"

            " :matt: "

              the idea that any person has eaten anything on this list is just a real bummer, also the candies are the weirdest ones like WHY WOULD YOU WANT A FUCKING BACON COTTON CANDY

    I'm still trying to find the joke.

    Is this just saying the words "atheist" and "bacon" to trigger some kind of Google Analytics response?

      Thesis: God is good, god makes bacon, therefor bacon is good.

      Antithesis: Atheists hate god, god makes bacon, therefor atheists hate bacon

      Synthesis: How can you, an atheist, persist in your beliefs when there is something as sublime and holy as BACON in the world? Checkmate atheists XD XD XD

    Crazy to think how under the Obama administration we saw the death of the Atheism versus organized religion debate peter out because all of America collectively decided that they were tired of heard college theologists arguing with evolutionary biologists about fossil records and bible verses so we just receded into our own camps, with the new wave atheism movement basically falling out and evangelicalism becoming more mainstream.
