In the beginning, all was null and void. Then God created the Heavens and the
Earth, and all the other planets too like Mars and Pluto. And he saw that they were
Good. Then he brought forth the land, and put animals and men and women upon it.
He saw that these too were Good.
"But," said God, "What is Good? It cannot be defined except in opposition to something."
So God brought Evil upon the Earth. And all the Good people, they were like doormats
before the Wars, the Pestilence, and the Telemarketers. There was much weeping and
gnashing of teeth, and they cried out to God to save them.
And God was in one of his merciful moods, and so He brought forth the Internet. Upon
the Internet he commanded that there be written a page which would enumerate the many
Evils of the world. Thus, the Good people could surf the page, and know what is Good
and what is Evil. Armed thus with knowledge, they could fight the Evil, and do Glory
unto God.
And there was much rejoicing.
And there shall be a great Evil corporation, that shall seek to subvert all to
its will. It shall stretch its foul influence from the land of Redmond, where
the shadows lie. All who oppose it shall be stripped of possessions and laid
bare to the waste. Not even the Kings of the Earth shall be able to split its
Evil. And all shall use Windows forever more.
And there will also be a smaller Evil corporation which will have the same Evil
heart as its larger brother. But this corporation will be smaller and less
competent, and forced to compensate by making fruity designer computers with
serious design flaws. Do not be fooled, for though this Evil will claim to
oppose the larger it is of the same substance.
And there shall be an institution of Evil which all must attend for four years. It
shall claim to be a place of enlightenment, but it exists to steal the living spirit
from the body and ridicule all who are different or unusual. Take heart, for this Evil
is only temporary.
High school is like unto a Great Beast rising from the bowels of the Earth, and upon its
back lie the Cheerleaders. These are those girls who have given over their bodies and their
souls to the Dark Forces of School Spirit. Beware their siren songs and cavorting dances,
for they shall claim your immortal soul.
And there shall be many groups of singing young men, and their number shall always be five.
They are the living incarnations of the Five Lords of Cacophony, and they come to the world
of humans to lure teenage girls back to the Pit from whence they came. Woe unto those who
buy their CDs!
And there shall be a man and a wookie with too much makeup who will own a television station.
And though they shall pay lip service to the Lord, they shall prey upon the poor and the
uneducated and take their money. Beware, for their true goal is to gather more gold upon
their stage!
And there shall be a cartoon, and this cartoon shall be about a bunch of boring,
white-bread middle class Americans permanently stuck in the fifties. It shall enforce its
rigid, sterile view upon all who read with the same insipid jokes. Pity Little Billy! He
has been eight years of age for fifty years!
And there shall be a state in the western United States, and it shall be filled with all
manner of tacky and gaudy things. They shall be loud and obnoxious and glittery, but
without soul. And the sleaze factor shall be unmeasurable. Do not travel this wasteland,
for no one returns unchanged.
And there shall be many small dogs which bark incessantly and for no good reason. The most
foul of these is the poodle. Though it looks ridiculous, it is vicious and loves nothing
more than to bite the hands of people. But you cannot kick this beast, for it is attended
upon by doting old ladies, unwitting servants of Evil.
And there shall be a great purple dinosaur, who shall work its way into the hearts of
children through its crude singing. Once it has gained their trust it shall make its true
nature known. For it is the incarnation of the Beast, and it shall rise up and devour
children whole.
And there shall be tomes of mindless drivel, filled with lurid descriptions of steamy men
and tempestuous love. They shall insidiously lower the intelligence of all who read. Yet
droves of women will continue to run to the checkout stand to buy them, until their brains
are completely melted. Beware!
And there shall be a doll of unliving plastic, and yet it shall be possessed by a foul
spirit which beckons all around it to wear pink and act in a feminine manner. Yet this
behavior shall lead to destruction, and there shall be much accessorizing and gnashing of teeth.
All will worship the eternal fickle maiden with the impossible proportions, for ever
more.
And there shall be an internet service provider which shall tell all of its ease of use.
Yet even as it broadcasts its friendly messages, it shall burrow into computers like a
serpent and alter them to its own purposes. It shall break other programs, and none will
be able to undo its foul taint. Beware the eternal stream of CD's which all are sent.
And there shall be people who shall be concerned with money above all other things.
They shall create mission statements and org charts, and shall stifle those around
them with long meetings of no use. The taint shall spread as those who are drawn
into their world become like them, until all wear suits and are more machine than
human.
And there shall be great iron chariots which fly through the sky. But these chariots
shall be controlled by men of money, and they shall use an incomprehensible pricing
scheme so that all who pay for tickets shall despair. These companies will then use
great tragedies for their own benefit, and take up invasive security measures
that provide only the illusion of security. Beware these companies, for all need them
despite the Evil that they do.
And there shall be a great maker of shoes that will be a false idol to all marketers
and men of sales in the world. Their evil swoosh shall cover the globe. Yet, its
dominance will lie on the back of fourteen year old girls who labor in sweatshops
for pennies each day. Thus will its tragedy spread.
And there shall be large beasts of the road, who are built to travel not on the road.
They shall be driven by soccer moms and yuppies, who do not understand that their
vehicles are dangerous to all around them. And their money shall go to feed these
great beasts with oil from the ground. In this way they shall fund repressive regimes
and fanatic terrorists, and all shall weep for ever more!
And there shall be a host of small beasts with shrill voices, who lair inside of tiny
balls waiting to feast upon the souls of children. And there shall be cards and cartoons
and movies and clothing dedicated to this foul horde. The young shall be mesmerized
by their bright colors and flashing eyes, and shall waste away as they collect them all.
