Despite a six-game winning streak, Denver Broncos quarterback and vocal Christian Tim Tebow lost to the New England Patriots last night, 41-23. It was a sad day for Broncos fans, but the Jesus Needs New PR blog thinks Saturday Night Live (and Jesus) foretold the reason for loss before it happened. (also, the Patriots are really good.)

Are the Saudis trying to buy out Twitter? Saudi Prince Alwaleed reportedly just invested $300 million in the microblogging service, raising questions as to whether the royal family was tring to control the technology that assisted Arab Spring protestors.

Pastafarians are in the news again. This time they’re making waves in Leesburg, Virginia after they erected a banner depicting a Flying Spaghetti Monster version of the Christian nativity scene. It reportedly read “Touched by an angelhair.”


The “noodley-appendaged” diety is also popping up in other media, making cameo appearances in a puppet versions of Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol.”

Finally, your Tweet of the Day highlights the real fear surrounding Tim Tebow’s loss – a loss of faith. (Via @Unvirtuousabbey)
