SCOTUS Rules JCPenney Allowed to Sacrifice Employees to Appease Cthulhu



"July 1, 2014 - Citing the newly-established precedent of corporate-religious exemption, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in favor of JCPenney, upholding the company's right to sacrifice pure-hearted employees in order to assuage the Dread Lord Cthulhu, Bringer of Madness.

The Penney estate, devout cultists and owners of the multibillion-dollar chain of mid-range department stores, joined by CEO Mike Ullman, sued the government in 2012 when new federal employee protections made it illegal for them to hire virgin maidens for the sole purpose of spilling their blood on the Altar of the Cosmos, with the hope that such an offering will prolong the Great Old One's slumber in the sunken city of R'lyeh.

“We're not opposed to the practice of protecting and celebrating life set forth by your quaint, human Biblical standards,” said Ullman last week on Lou Dobbs Tonight. “But JCPenney is not that sort of company, for in his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. We see through the insignificance of your primitive ape society to the coming storm of insanity that is His rise.”

will be sending protest email spams saying that JCPenney's owners worship Satan, totally overlooking the humor of this article.

practicing Wicca. Funny article...about a month later a guy (huge bible thumper) brings me that same pic sans article and swears this.is.going.on! He got it from the highest authority email list! I told him to climb back down and go to the onion site and read the satire/article. It's Fake! He didn't seem to get his drawers in a bunch after that about things. He said it is possible he is being duped.

It don't take much does it?
