Speak of the devil

"The other desire of a demon is to incarnate, to get its own body rather than just have power over or relate to a being with a body. This form of demonolatry is a great favourite with the media as it assist dirty old journalists hacks in incarnating their private wanking fantasies. Everytime I read some frase like "a new, sinister form of teenage violence is erupting on the streets of London" my heart sinks because I know that there is a chance that one day this new sinister form of violence might actually be manifest. Although there were plenty of young people before World War II who were between the ages of twelve and twenty there were not yet, I am informed, any teenagers - and now there are millions of them.


Other attempts at invocing demons to physical manifestation show differing levels of success. Christian fundamentalists and the yellow press managed to get a small satanic movement going, mostly among heavy metal fans, but it did not amount to much. There are some pretty desent paedophile murderers in the news nowadays, achieving a modest rate of kill but not yet living up to the standarts set by their creators. Terrorism, however, has been a roaring success and has been keeping the media happy for years while they struggle to create another Princess Di to slaughter. Global warming is still trying to get a foothold, while the millenium bug was an utter disaster news-wise."
