"Buttism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a sphincter religion for the future: it transcends a personal butt, avoids dogmas and catmas; it covers both the natural & unnatural, and it is based on a unsolicited email sense aspiring from the experience of capitalism as a meaningful unity" - Albert Winestein
