Doctor Steel redux

So, according to this video, everything the guy says is actually true. Not that the world really is controlled by aliens, but that he really is a toymaker who was fired from his company for being too extreme, and then tried to blow it up. He spent some time in a mental hospital, and as far as I can tell, he really does want to take over the world with an army of robots and flying saucers.

Where do you draw the line here? Who is this guy? (Other than a complete nutjob) And most of all, what the hell am I doing in his little army? Is he really serious about the robots with machine guns? (he was serious about the flying saucers)  Is he really putting together a robot band? Am I going to get drafted because I signed onto his little toy soldier army? Did some of the first members of the Nazi party say 'hang on a sec, we though he was joking?' (although Hitler wasn't a musician, just a crap artist)

I should be worried, if I wasn't laughing so hard.

Hmmm... This kinda reminds me of the essay on who to prevent starvation in Ireland. I don't remember the author of the satirical essay, but the gist was that we should eat children. Then there's also the Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster. The church's founder seems to be entirely serious about his religion. Dr. Steel seems to be a bit more believable than the Spagetti Monster guy (who preaches while dressed as a pirate).

I will agree that his music is very good though. I like Lament for a Toy Factory best.

Did you notice that Dr. Steel's biography is somewhat similar to Hitler's? At least up until high school, and the desire to become an artist.

We read that essay (by Swift, btw.) in school, very entertaining. *evil grin*

I got you a link:

That was Jonathan Swift, he wrote Gulliver's Travels. He didn't really believe that they should eat children, he was just making a point, like the church of the flying Spaghetti monster. Dr Steel really does mean every word he says.

Lament for a Toy factory is my favourite too.

Just one question: Why did you ever think signing up for something like that was a good idea?

[identity profile] skull-bearer.livejournal.com 2007-06-23 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
Because I thought it would be funny and they said they'd send me stickers. They never did.

Prepare to be drafted. I will miss you. *cries*

Uwah??? This weekend has been totally surreal. This is even more so.

Catchy music though

Actually . . . on second thought after watching the second part of that video this all has the odd stench of an elaborate marketing ploy . . . Just my two cents. You may have nothing to worry about after all! :^D
