Santorum: The Devil Controls The Film Industry


Santorum: The Devil Controls The Film Industry

-snip-

He appeared on the Trinity Broadcasting Network last week to plug the new movie of his film company EchoLight Studios, which apparently is in a state of internal strife after his arrival as CEO.

While speaking on a network where televangelists on a daily basis tell viewers that God will reward them financially if they send in contributions, the former senator and presidential candidate spent most of the time criticizing movies for being too materialistic.

Santorum, who has previously said that Satan has control over mainline Protestantism and universities, thanked viewers in advance for seeing the movie.

“This is a tough business, this is something that we’re stepping out,” Santorum said, “and the Devil for a long, long time has had this, these screens, for his playground and he isn’t going to give it up easily.

Satan has taken over Santorum. How else would accuse the entertainment industry of being possessed?

I was the victim of a robo-call,featuring Frothy Mix, imploring me to sign some petition, just yesterday... I laid the phone down just far enough away that I could hear the
voice but not the words. At the end I could press 1 to sign or 2 to hear more info. Pressed 2. When the "live guy, came on, I let loose with a string of the worst vulgarities I could imagine, built around words like liar, lunatic and stupid, til he hung up on me.
I figure the couple of minutes they wasted on me kept them off of someone else's line for a moment.

or be executed or if there was only violent or erotic video allowed on your computers all the time...
BUT...everyone knows how to stop the film industry...it's the same thing we do in a
capitalistic society. That would be to stop buying things produced by the film (entertainment) industry.

That is not going to happen because though some of it is a mess much is also brilliant and it's
the fact that sanitarium and his weasel's can't control it all, that is what really bothers them.

Except, well.. okay not really.

Still he seems like a decent enough chap. He'd probably admit himself his movie wasn't Citizen Kane.

Isn't that what all of the crazy anti-Semites are claiming, that Hollywood is run by "the Eeeeevil Jews"? Now, Tricky Ricky can't come out and say "the eeeevil Jooz" without damaging his cred with the Fundies Who Love Israel, so he's using a big fat dog-whistle.

Torturous and never ending. The whole damnation without relief that you have to pay for.

Not only is the devil bringing hell to earth, he's making a packet doing it. Smart guy.
