Graffiti for God

The Daily Mail with customary vigour reports on a show at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow where visitors are invited to write comments in a copy of the Bible. The show, called Made In God's Image, was curated by artists Anthony Schrag and David Malone, and this particular exhibit was presented by the Metropolitan Community Church, a liberal denomination ministering particularly to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and queer community.

They invited people: "If you feel you've been excluded from the Bible, please write your way back into it." According to the Mail, the work has "the aim of reclaiming the Bible as a sacred text", particularly for gays, lesbians, and other people who feel marginalised. Inevitably, some people have written rude comments in the Bible, including "FACIST GOD" (sic), as well as more harmless remarks like: "I have no religion belief, but I try very hard to be a good person, and 'That is it!'", "Everyone is a person no matter what", and "I don't want in."

According to the Mail, the show has been condemned by George Reid, a former Scottish National Party MP and ex-Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland (the Mail gets this title wrong), and spokespeople from the Christian Institute, the Christian Legal Centre, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Taxpayers' Alliance. A Church of Scotland spokesperson said, "We would discourage anyone from defacing the Bible."

Reading columnists and commenters so you don't have to

For years Speak You're Branes has been ridiculing people who post insane (and generally rightwing) comments on the BBC's Have Your Say discussions.

Mail Watch has been chronicling the Daily Mail's insanity for even longer, with considerable critical intelligence and wit. From the same source but with a wider remit: Enemies of Reason. The Daily Mail Tendency and Stirring Up Apathy do the same thing but less well.

Tabloid Watch goes wider. While Bristol Evening Post Watch goes narrower, and has recently shut up shop.

David Aaronovitch Watch follows the Blairite journalist, but also has a lot of information on Martin Amis and similar intellectuals. They did at one point post a link to the metatextual Aaronovitch Watch Watch, but it seems to have been taken down.

Angry Mob keeps an eye on Melanie Phillips, Richard Littlejohn, and much more.

Christopher Hitchens watch follows the maverick alcoholic.

MediaWatchWatch follows the TV-complaining organisation Media Watch and other pro-censorship groups like Christian Voice (whose voice doesn't seem to have much in common with the Church of England or indeed Jesus).

Opinion Beyond Education monitors Biased BBC (one of a large number of organisations who monitor the BBC for left-wing bias).
