Call me crazy, but these advertisements might be a little… dark.- Have a rather forgiving attitude towards violent criminals of the worst kind? Think that these scumbags just need a big hug and a cup of hot chocolate? Perhaps a few pictures might change your mind (NSFW).
- In the completely normal and sane country of Japan, mock cannibalism is yummy fun.
- Of course there isn’t anything in the least bit distasteful about making money off the deeds of murderous men. Wait… how MUCH money are we talking?
- What I “chil” for you is a link to a site filled to the brim with e-mails from crazy people!
Review: The Devil’s Mischief
Throughout human mythology, the Devil, in all of his guises, has possessed (pun intended) an immense sense of humor. Through such manifestations as Loki and Coyote, the capacity for tricks and laughter has been keenly aligned with the Satanic for millennia. In stark contrast, the fictionalized character of Jehovah is far too busy smacking humanity on the wrists at every possible turn for being themselves to have even a smidgen of humor inside of him. Simply stated, the Biblical god is no fun.
Church of Satan Reverend Bill M. knows these facts as well. He also knows that there is a wealth of comedy and novelty music that has a whole lot more to do with the Satanic philosophy than most purportedly upstanding citizens would like to discover or admit. Gathering up the best bits from all of the clown princes of Hell, a show of hilariously diabolical proportions is born. And its name is The Devil’s Mischief.
True to its moniker, TDM keeps it carnal in all matters funny. From thoughtfully sinister routines by such greats as George Carlin, Doug Stanhope, Lewis Black, David Cross and numerous others all the way to classic and sometimes forgotten gems of yesteryear including those of Groucho Marx, Bob Newhart, Spike Jones, Weird Al, Steve Martin and more. And Bill certainly makes sure that content is varied, almost never repeating the same clips twice — except perhaps for his occasional themed episodes, which have included such brilliant motifs as the Gay Eskimo episode, the Anti-Valentine’s specials, the Best of Blasphemy, and those darned Banana shows. Ring-ring-ring, indeed.
Making regular appearances on the roster of Radio Free Satan for many years now, you can certainly listen to the show from their site, or download it from there or from TDM’s iTunes page — though, in the last instance, only the most recent episode appears on iTunes due to RFS’s primitive use of RSS, so download it from there quickly before the following week comes, if that’s your choice. But, you should definitely tune in. It could mean your immortal soul… or missing out on some really funny jokes. You decide.
3 commentsPeter H. Gilmore – “Goat of Mendes”
Painted in 1982, nearly two decades before he was to become High Priest of the Church of Satan, Peter H. Gilmore was morphing the occult illustration of Eliphas Levi into a truly Satanic figure. From transforming the wings into those of the Chiroptera, to replacing the merely representative phallus with an unabashed erect penis, Gilmore’s painting is fierce and carnal while evoking a powerful mythological effigy.
The image was used as an illustration for Magus Gilmore’s first book The Satanic Scriptures, published by Scapegoat Publishing in 2007. The limited hardback and slipcased editions feature this image printed in full color on the case wraps, and all editions feature a black and white version on the first page of the book.
Underworld Amusements is proud to release Peter H. Gilmore’s “Goat of Mendes” as its first fine art print. Close work with Magus Gilmore on all stages of production has been done to create an appropriate representation of his work. Kevin I. Slaughter has personally printed each canvas using a high-end large format giclee process and has hand cut the frames and assembled each final piece of this edition of 33. Each print is numbered and signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

1 commentAmazon Recommends To Me…
I guess my own book is good enough for Amazon to recommend it back to me via e-mail spam. At least, I think that’s how it goes. And it appears that I like hookers and metal, which I suppose isn’t an entirely unfair assessment. Good job, Amazon. Now, put me on your front page!

- Onward, Lego Soldiers. KILL the unbelievers!
- Molly would like you to know that horror fans have some issues.
- Are you in the mood for some fine dining as part of your night on the town? Have a thing for Hitler, too? Well, the Asians have you covered.
- College kids are returning to their school’s towns, looking to make themselves heard… and smelled. Let’s hope they never find this site. (Thanks, Casey)
- And, while some of you are mindlessly shambling to the theaters this weekend to get your moronic Tarantino fix, try to remember that the rest of us despise both him and his inane, no-plot, talky-talky, and overhyped movies.
