Loony Fundie Nonsense for the Masses
« Dear Sainsbury's, | Main | The Revelation of the User »
United States: A young man charged with spaying Satanic grafitti over a Roman Catholic religious site has admitted that he is not a Satanist, and has nothing to do with Satanism - he just did it because he thinks he's a punk, and that that's what punks do. Mick Trevey, a reporter from Today's TMJ4 spoke to the normal-looking 21-year-old Tyler Groth about his motives:
Trevey:Are you religious?
Groth:No.
Trevey:Do you have a problem with people who are?
Groth:No.
Trevey asked him why he sprayed satanic graffiti on these holy shrines.
Groth said,'cause I'm a punk - that's what I do.
No doubt some will insist that he's just lying, that he really is a Satanist motivated by religious hatred, so the journalist asked him a very telling question:
Trevey:Do you know you spelled Satan wrong?
Groth:No - I'm not aware of that.
Trevey:You spelled it satin - like the fabric.
Groth:See - if I was big into the devil, I would have spelled it right.
Trevey:Do you think that's funny?
Groth:That I spelled it wrong? No - I'm a bad speller.

Maybe he's a satinist who's out to spread the love of slick, shiny fabric to all.

Arthur: I wonder what happened to the good old anarchy symbol?
Red Wolf: Satin is true unadulterated evil, and the next Sister who wants a satin veil will be given a copy of the pattern.

Satin Sheets certainly are...supposedly romantic...but a great way of punting yourself off the side of the bed at high speed...generally resulting in rug burn on sensitive parts. The Devil's fabric...yeah pretty much!

As I read the above, a picture of the two characters formed in my mind in a king of the hill style animation. If you want to see something really creepy, just watch a service on the idiot box on a sunday with the sound muted.
Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—advertising
, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.
Allowed HTML: a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, I'm afraid you'll have to leave them out for now, as things are a little b0rked. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.

It used to be swastikas, almost half of them pointing the wrong way.
