Some Things You Just Can't Un-See

Let me begin by saying that the following has been all over the internet in recent days, but your Captain will cover his arse by saying “alleged” in reference to what I am about to write.

The photo you are about to see is probably “Not Safe For Work”, depending on where you work, I guess.

But since I had to look at it, I’m going to make you look at it too.

Because you need to see this.

For those with a weak stomach, you might want to look away.

The following photo was “allegedly” posted on and quickly removed from Jerry Falwell Jr.’s Instagram account.

It “allegedly” is a photo of Jerry Falwell Jr. taken at a party on his yacht.

“Allegedly” he posted it on Instagram himself.

According to the news, the “allegedly” wealthy and outspoken “alleged” son of a prominent Baptist preacher (now deceased) who is also “allegedly” the current President of a well-known “allegedly” Christian university “allegedly” held a “Trailer Park Boys” party on his yacht.

Captain’s Note: I had to Google “Trailer Park Boys”; I’ve never watched it, and now I don’t want to.

So, "allegedly" wealthy people making fun of poor people who live in a trailer park and are just trying to get by. I get it.

How Christian of you.

But don’t worry, he “allegedly” writes beneath the photo, the glass “allegedly” contains “black water”.

Captain’s Note: Again, I had to turn to Google. “Black Water” is either the putrefying liquids and solids you would find in a septic tank (that’s “poop” or “pee” for all the nine-year-olds out there), or it is the liquid found inside a used bong.

“It was a prop only.”

So let me see if the Captain has got this straight: the “alleged” President of a prominent “allegedly” Christian university posts a photo from an “alleged” “Trailer Park Boys” party / on his “alleged” yacht / of “allegedly” him “allegedly” standing next to an “alleged” woman who is not his wife / with his belly “allegedly’ exposed and his pants “allegedly” unzipped.

But no, those are definitely leopard-spotted briefs.

And this “alleged” President of a prominent “allegedly” Christian university thinks you are concerned about what’s in the glass?

Because, you know, drinking alcohol is a sin…

"Scott Lamb, a spokesperson for Liberty University, declined to comment on the authenticity of the photos or the appropriateness of Falwell being seen in such circumstances."

Lord help us all!
