Big Easter sale!\u00a0 This is the part where you&#8217;d expect me to make a bunch of jokes like &#8220;savings are rising from the tomb!&#8221; or &#8220;roll the boulder from the tomb of savings!&#8221; or &#8220;you don&#8217;t need to roll dice with another Centurion to get your hands on this merch!&#8221;&#8230;maybe that last one&#8217;s too obscure.\u00a0 Anyways&#8230;I WAS going to tie the sale to Easter and just dance the line of blasphemy in the sale pitch because, screw it, the Pope said there wasn&#8217;t a Hell anyway.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">He said that last week.\u00a0 No hell, huh? then GAME F*cking ON!\u00a0 Frankly I&#8217;ve been hedging my bets on the ole pray for forgiveness on my death bed thing anyways, but if there isn&#8217;t any hell&#8230;I can just die leering at the nurse with my hand on my junk and beg in the hereafter. No&#8230;Hell! I&#8217;mma START by using the death and resurrection to sell some merch, THEN move onto more nefarious activities, I says to myself.\u00a0 Just before starting this email, I see some other story that says he never said that.\u00a0 Glad I read that before moving onto steps 3 through 19.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">This fake news stuff&#8230;that&#8217;s dangerous. Forget about which way people like me might vote.\u00a0 What if we see some story that says it&#8217;s okay to drive drunk, or<span class=\"auto-style231\">\u00a0Taser people who take too long in line, or\u00a0<\/span>whatever&#8230;because I&#8217;ll f*cking do it, just in sheer celebration of the new found freedom.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Saw this story too that SEEMS to not be fake.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.arseniclullabies.com\/sslv.PNG\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"431\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">FIRST, I&#8217;d like to remind all of you long time readers of my blog, that I said YEARS ago that Kreuk gave me the creeps. That she had soulless eyes and seemed like a reptilian or something. &#8220;Always listen to Doug&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">So, the story goes, these two were part of some sex cult and they were responsible for gulling young girls into being sex slaves.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Forget how much the news screws up with reporting fake stuff, how about how they don&#8217;t bother &#8220;reporting&#8221; anything?\u00a0 They don&#8217;t give us any info on this beyond clickbait.\u00a0 I have a million questions here, and none of them are answered in the &#8220;reporting&#8221; all of which has a bunch of throw away lines like &#8220;a true supervillian&#8221; and &#8220;there was no one in a cape so save them&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">The stories say these women were &#8220;recruiting sex slaves&#8221;.\u00a0 How do you do that?!\u00a0 That&#8217;s a sales pitch I&#8217;d like to hear.\u00a0 Was it a pyramid scheme? Some promise of fame and fortune?\u00a0 I can&#8217;t fathom how you&#8217;d ease someone into that idea.\u00a0 I ASSUME we&#8217;re not talking about destitute people living in abject poverty, otherwise you wouldn&#8217;t need some TV star to talk them into it, you could just send any low life out there with a fist full of cash. Right?\u00a0And the &#8220;why&#8221; isn&#8217;t there. These two are capable of talking someone into being a slave but they can&#8217;t talk themsleves onto another sitcom???\u00a0 and what exactly is the definition of &#8220;sex slave&#8221; here?\u00a0 Because that doesn&#8217;t seem like an all day job.\u00a0 The story says that each one belonged to one other person.\u00a0 Even with unlimited amounts of cocaine and Viagra, you&#8217;re only having sex for so long. What are the sex slaves doing the rest of the time?\u00a0 Do they clean and cook too? Because if all they are someone&#8217;s slave for is sex, that&#8217;s pretty strange. They have horrific sex acts performed on them but if they are asked to vacuum the living room, they can say &#8220;f*ck you, do it yourself&#8221;?\u00a0 As far as being a slave goes, I&#8217;d rather be a sex slave than any other kind, just on the basis of having way more time left in my day when I&#8217;m not slaving.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Look..I didn&#8217;t report this story.\u00a0 It just showed up on my browser homepage, then on my newsfeed&#8230;so, newspeople&#8230;IF you&#8217;re going to just pander to our base curiosity, how about you explain the f*cking story.\u00a0 Because I am mortally confused as to what any of this means and what they actually did.\u00a0 Did they all live on a compound or go home at the end of the day? I doesn&#8217;t sound like there was a compound or commune, I assume money was involved..so, what is the difference here between a prostitute and a sex slave at that point?\u00a0 What about it made it a &#8220;cult&#8221;?\u00a0 Generally a Cult is a group of people living by some fridge belief system.\u00a0 This all sounds to me like human trafficking&#8230;which doesn&#8217;t get people to click as fast as &#8220;cult&#8221;, I guess. I assume they used the term &#8220;cult&#8221; and &#8220;sex slave&#8221; to get people click onto the story faster, because it&#8217;s 2018 and some celebrity sexually assaulting someone isn&#8217;t &#8220;news&#8221; anymore.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">They did show us pics I didn&#8217;t need to see of how the sex slaves were &#8220;branded&#8221; with the owners names.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll tell you this much, you sure as hell wouldn&#8217;t want to be owned by me if you had to get my name branded on you.\u00a0 I&#8217;d need at least two underage hitchhikers standing side by side to brand Paszkiewicz into human skin.\u00a0 No doubt the first\u00a0 time it&#8217;d be spelled wrong and I&#8217;ve have to ball out the guy who made the branding iron.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">ALSO, I am the first person to defend millennials as not being the watered down snowflakes they get labeled as, but if this is what passes for a &#8220;cult&#8221; these days&#8230;that&#8217;s on YOU, millennials.\u00a0 This branding, as bad as it looks in the pictures&#8230;when I was in high school people where burning smiley faces into their arms with the top of disposable lighters. Hell, Charles Manson carved a swastika into his own forehead. Manson had a CULT. Jim Jones, David Koresh had CULTS.\u00a0 If the group in question didn&#8217;t murder a bunch of people with kitchen knives of have the ATF drive a tank into their house, or at least wear some goofey occult robes, I don&#8217;t want the term &#8220;cult&#8221; attached to them.\u00a0 You gotta hold the line on the vernacular somewhere and these two teeny bopper have no business getting the same definition as Charles Manson&#8217;s crew.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8230;I started this email by trying to avoid typing anything heinous during Easter and I think I swerved right back into heinous somehow.\u00a0 Speaking of heinous, do you have your copies of these Arsenic Lullaby collections yet?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.arseniclullabies.com\/DDIboth600wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"638\" height=\"466\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Each of these collections are available now (that first one is about to run out and then we&#8217;ll just have scratch and dent copies left) and contain our favorite, more despicable, funniest stories from the original run.
