Gargoyles! Sidekicks!
I can’t get this nut-job out of my head … ever since Fox started playing those promos every five minutes during the World Series, I’ve been quietly amusing myself by mimicking this lady, in my head, in the car, riding on the Metro, wherever. At one point I couldn’t figure out what she was saying, when she called out the twin evil forces "gargoyles, psychics". For a week I thought she said "Sidekicks" (is that why mine won’t cough up my mobile number?). Anyway, it’s sticking in my brain.
But it would have been SO much funnier if they gave promo soundtrack duties to, um, perhaps … Ministry? Yeah. Early 90’s, "Jesus Built My Hotrod"-era Ministry. KMFDM would be a decent second choice.
So it starts out with some machine-gun like guitar riff and her screaming:
"Gaaarrggooylless!!!!" chugga chugga chugga chugga ….
"Psssyyychicccs!!!!" chugga chugga chugga ….
"Everything’s ungodly! Tainted!" rrraaaaawwwwrrrrr…
[stop for effect, then the bomb drops…]
"she’s not a ChriiissTTIAAAAAN—WWWWWAAAARRGGHHH!!!!"
Some more guitars with double bass drum kicking in. Al Jourgensen screeching through a fuzzbox as she tears up the envelope. Then the final verse:
"I planted this seed and I will see the harvest! GET OUT!!"
[one last power chord]
[end]
(p.s. thanks to Flickr user "asv/michele" for the awesome picture!!!)

Funny…I just played this, and my cats started freaking out and whimpering, one pawing at the computer and the other covering her head! heh heh.
What the hell? Was she at the other people’s house or at hers?

I just saw the episode. She was at her own house, screaming at her own family. The kids seemed out all freaked out in the beginning but in the end they just started to roll their eyes. I guess they must be used to it ….
