"Satan is boring"
-graffiti near Tavistock Square

So true. We need a newer, fresher icon of evil. Something a little more sexy, a little more subtle. You couldn't take Satan to a party, it'd just be all damnnation and fire and yelling and eternal torture, not to mention the sulfur smell. Satan, you are boring. Either update your look, or you will be replaced by Kate Moss.

    Great, now I've got an image of Satan in pumps and a miniskirt, sneaking off to the bathroom after having a salad for lunch so he can shove a couple fingers down his throat. Thanks so much for that image.

    Satan is lame.

    Perhaps he should be replaced by the Gadianton Robbers.

    Wow, the Satster is looking a little skinny. And I hear he's just launched his own clothing line at Topshop. One must keep up with the times, I guess.

    Ah the Gadianton robbers, bastians of scariness. Next to Laman and/or Lemuel, were there any scarier people in the Book of Mormon?

    Even when I was Mormon, the phrase "the Gadianton Robbers" always reminded me of that book, "Ronia the Robber's Daughter." This always made me think of rump hobs and harpies, which made it more difficult to take the Gadianton Robbers seriously, even though I'm sure they were meant to be extremely scary.

    That's funny; Corn and I always had trouble taking the Gadianton Robbers seriously too. They seemed like the cool kids on the Book of Mormon block, what with their "secret combinations" and cool mountain hideouts and Calvin Klein ads (oops, wrong evil). And if they had harpies and rumphobs, well... sign me up! I was going to push for a revival of the Whig party, but bringing back the Gadianton Robbers now seems so much more cool.
