Mate of mine tells a story of when he was 15, saw 2 Mormons coming up the street, quickly grabbed a beer bottle and lit a cig as they knocked on his door. He opened it with “Gidday! How the fuck are ya? Come in and have a beer, we’re just about to say the rosary!”
He claims they never bothered that house again.
When I get accosted in the street by the religious, I smile politely and say “no thanks”. If they persist, I say loudly (and I can be very loud): “Fuck off!” whether they’re male or female (equal opportunity curser, me). I haven’t yet had to go to stage 3 which will be either smacking them in the head and claiming god made me do it or accusing them of being lizard people trying to take over the world with their black helicopters.

Me I’d just try to resurrect a form of Saturnalia suitable to these modern times.
I think "reality television" has beaten you to that...

I’m really struggling to see the relevance of any of this to be honest.
Sadly, it's the consequence of focussing on Assange (as certain parties would like us to do) rather than the content of the cables.

The problem with twatcocks like P**l H***y and W*****n P****s is that they don't stay banished unless you put a stake through what passes for their hearts. WOTY is that stake.
I mean, look at how many times P**l H****s has come back...

One year they had Jim Hopkins and Kerre Woodham.
I call bullshit. The Earth would not have stood the strain.

And one should be able to question some aspects of WikiLeaks without being accused of “journalist-envy”
When Wikileaks is questioned on the basis of what it does, there's nothing wrong with that. When it is questioned on the basis of Assange, that's not so good. Too many people are being directed to play the man, in the hopes that the ball will slip unnoticed into touch.

Nice quote in the comments:
