Fangs Be To God

"If the park is built, I am afraid that vampirism and blood sucking will become a society game." So said a Romanian priest upset about plans to build a Dracula theme park outside Bucharest in 2001. Now Bucharest Archbishop Ioan Robu is protesting on the grounds that the park will distort tourists' image of Romania. "The Catholic and Orthodox churches hold the same views about this project, which won't give a good image of Romania," says the Archbishop, who regularly consumes the body and blood of Jesus Christ. For a highly biased and none-too accurate reading of the original Vlad The Impaler as a Christian anti-hero, check out this article by "Arnoume," Australia's leading proponent of the Vampire Christ theory of religion.

Here's another headline idea for that one: "CHRISTIANITY SUCKS."

Maybe Romania should take a cue from Salem, Massachusetts and embrace their macabre reputation. Fall River's tourist attraction is Lizxzy Borden House; just exhale and go with it, mon.

What claptrap. Everybody knows Jesus was an Alien.

I can just picture a mob of Catholic Romanians (carrying torches) storming the castle at theme park, protesting the promotion of a stereo type.
