No, not desperate. Just stupid. I've done some very minor research (consisting mainly of watching the Biography channel) on cults.
I'm now convinced that a small percentage of people will believe and do anything for attention or acceptance.
I intend to cash in on that by starting my very own cult, and bilking these people out of everything they own. I may demand sex from my female followers, if I can convince my wife that I owe it to my public.
Now thats funny!!!
My Fiance' said that the only reason to start a cult is to meet women. (he's also convinced he's next inline for the Popes seat!!!)
