Blasphemy vids.
Augustus O'Muircheartaigh
The sound is awful so have to play it loud.
Here is a short film I made about the Blasphemy Legislation in
Ireland. The legislation came into effect on January 1st 2010. This
event, along with Atheist Ireland's publishing of 25 blasphemous
quotations was reported widely outside of Ireland, but the Irish media
have shown very little interest to date.
Some notes on the film: I wrote the script using quotes either from
Irish politicians speaking in the houses of parliament (oireachtas) or
through the media or in email communications directly with me. The
film was shot on the spur of the moment as an actor friend was
visiting my wife and I. We shot against green-screen in our spare-room
with the actors reading off cue-cards as we had no time to rehearse or
learn lines. Also, yours truly here very cleverly had the wrong
attenuation setting on the camera so I created a vicious buzzing sound
on the audio track, remnants of which have stubbornly survived to the
final cut. My apologies to one and all for that one!
So, please bear in mind that this was more of an impassioned exercise
in raising awareness in this ridiculous impingement on the free speech
of all residents of, and visitors to, Ireland - than an exercise in
achieving prize-wining production quality.
On that note, I give you - "Everybody Knows What Blasphemy Is"
Keep the Faith

Rubbish. That was God. Notice how he's also frozen your pipes. Beware!
