The most worrying thing for me, personally, is how a gossip thread on a none event got to 9 pages.
Seriously? There are weirder and more relevant things going on in this world than this.....
Satan, Illuminati, and Demon. Three buzzwords that will attract almost every weirdo on the site.

No, I wouldn't, but clearly they would.

Well none of us are telling anyone what to believe. But the naysayers sure are doing it to us by ridiculing us and calling us names.

Actually you are. You would not have made the thread if you didn't want people to "wake up" and believe in the premise of the OP.
The naysayers are just living up to the sites motto.

That's not the same thing at all! And you know it. If it was then anyone who posts anything is telling people what to believe and that's absolute rubbish. It's passing on a news story or a viewpoint and letting people make up their own mind. It is not telling someone what to think. To claim otherwise is nothing but a cheap attempt at manipulation on your part.
The motto of this site is genius. The problem is, though, just like with anything, it can be abused. And it is. Everyone who posts thinks they are doing what the motto of the site is. It's open to each individual's interpretation. By posting this stuff I think I am denying ignorance. I'm denying the ignorance of people who think this stuff isn't real. So it goes both ways.

LOL. Its never going to get you banned. Just because I'm staff doesn't mean you can't have an opposing viewpoint to me, and just because I'm staff, it doesn't mean I can't be constantly suprised about what becomes a hot talking point on the board.
Heres how I see this - Nicki Minage is a product. She has made herself one. In order for her product to work she has to make herself saleable.
In this case, she is going to say anything in order to try and grab peoples attention, because attention = money for her product. Sex sells. Insanity sells. The occult sells. Shes gone for all three.
Hell, this isn't even a new concept - Bowie was messing around with multiple personalities in the early 70's, and more recently Beyonce invented "Sascha Fierce" as her "personality".
There is no mysetery here, no occult, only sales and marketing. The only force at work here is the almighty dollar. Ching Ching. You buy into this, you discuss it, you increase the sales and the product line expands.
