Look at the very last photograph on this Cliff Yablonksi hates you page.

I live in the Bible belt. we have some of the craziest religious nuts you will ever meet, but I have never been to one of their churches. what the HELL is going on here? speaking in tongues? it looks more like the little jonestown happening back in the 70’s, where everyone drank poisoned kool-aid and died.

It looks to me like the old “The winning token is somewhere on the floor!” gag.

Bad news, OP. Your link is gonzo–probably not your fault, as somethingawful.com has been giving other people problems with links, too. In my case, it loads the picture of Mistress Soulcrusher but then starts trying to load something else, without being asked to, and eventually comes up with a “Page Not Found”.

So, we can’t see what pic you’re talking about. Sorry.

I got it to load. Among others, there’s a pic of pepper and her bf and what looks like a general assembly meeting.

For your sake, Chickenhead, I sincerely hope that the OP is your only reason for linking that page that is deeply offensive to me. And makes me incredibly angry.

I’ve seen things like that happen when watching televangelists (yes, I do watch them for entertainment occasionally). I’m sure you’ve seen similar things too, the preacher lays a hand on a forehead, shouts “You are healed!” or something to that effect, and the person falls back and lays flat on the ground. I believe they refer to it as being “slain in the spirit”. Anyway, I’ve seen preachers do it to the whole crowd from the stage, too; looks like that’s what happened here.
