Fuck Yoga Dot Com

http://www.fuckyoga.com/cart.php?page=fuckyoga_history

I have to admit that I laughed. Yeah, there’s a glaring typo in the main page’s history, and yeah yoga is really good for you (it teaches, to paraphrase The Onion, the ancient and mystical art of breathing), but I tire of the yoga-yuppies who think they are somehow better than the rest of us who would rather ride a bike or go for a walk or watch a movie or fuck off than twist our limbs into pretzels.

(Note: mi amor is quite fond of yoga, though she goes about it by reading and self-teaching and eschews the high cost of taking a class and breathing in other women’s leotard clad odor and the self-congratulatory aura glowing from the Gucci Buddhists of Chicago.)
