Outlaws on the new frontier

While sitting around trying to concoct their latest stupidly devious publicity stunt, it’s hard to imagine the way this one evolved. But the sooner it’s rendered extinct, the better.

“The story started when a group sought permission to put on a Christian music event on January 15, 2010, ostensibly to bring young people back to the parish.

“What actually happened that night was a sacrilege. The group’s representative, a Roman Catholic [or at least pretending to be], deceived parish staff about the concert that he intended to put on at the Church. Not only was the event not Christian, the group, “Less Artists More Condos,” took over the altar and sanctuary space and put on a hard rock concert, complete with copious amounts of alcohol.

“Now, this group, which has deceived other organizations in the past, has now posted videos and pictures of this outrageous event online to brag about its offensive and disgusting abuse of St. James Church, one of the oldest in New York City.”

Distraught church officials turned to the Thomas More Society, and they’re on it.

“…and TMS will continue to monitor the situation to ensure that, at the very least, these videos won’t provide any further notoriety or motivation for these monsters or others who would desecrate holy sites.”

If the group mulls over slogans for their serial mischief, they might consider ‘hell to pay’.
