messiah

A Tennessee judge has ordered the parents of a seven-month-old baby to change their child’s name from Messiah to Martin because the name was earned by one person and “that one person is Jesus Christ”.

According to Judge Ballew, it is the first time she has ordered a first name change. She said the decision is best for the child, especially while growing up in a county with a large Christian population.

“It could put him at odds with a lot of people and at this point he has had no choice in what his name is,”

Looks like we got us a Redeemah.

What you may need to know

1. Make no mistake, it’s a Jackass movie.

2. We’ve already had Bad Santas, Teachers and Lieutenants… What next?

3. Johnny Knoxville’s acting career remains DOA, largely on account of an absence of acting ability. Apparently he hangs out in Donegal.

4. The Jackass crew had a decent run, until the unfortunate passing of Ryan Dunn. Wait, that rhymes.

5. Broadsheet Prognosis: Witty is overrated.

Gulp.

He hangs up the phone and says, “There’s no one on the train other than the driver, and he can’t stop the train. You will have to wait for it to reach the end of the line and then have my guy at Howth (the final stop) check to see if it’s still there.

“I’m going to be completely honest with you: I don’t think it will be there. That train is passing through some really bad areas.”

And so the wait begins….
