Gwar lead singer Oderus Urungus co-hosts Fox News show
Edited on Thu Sep-03-09 07:08 PM by AsahinaKimi


Irreverent, occasionally vulgar Fox News late night show Red Eye stepped up the shock value Wednesday night, letting Gwar lead singer Oderus Urungus co-host the program.

Urungus, a demon-like character who's headlined the shock-rock troupe for approaching 25 years, told Road Runner Records' Blabbermouth blog:

"The media juggernaut that is the mighty GWAR marches relentlessly forward! I, Oderus Urungus, shall be appearing on Fox News 'Red Eye' for the sixth freaking time, on Wednesday, September 2! And what's even better — I shall be on the show for the entire hour-long episode, or until I eat the other guests, whatever comes first. And they say Fox is a conservative network... if it took a conservative network to get Oderus on TV, then I say we need more conservative networks!"

1. Beavis and Butthead liked Gwar. I hope he wears his costume on FUX news. nt

3. GWAR is like KISS on crystal meth
Heavier on the costumes, lighter on musical talent. And apparently as Republican as Gene Simmons himself.

5. Lighter on musical talent!
What the fuck! GWAR, aside from the costumes and over the top antics they are surprisingly good musicians. There is no way Gene Simmons could come close to playing a lot of their stuff.

Kind of a parody.

8. For most channels, this would be a step downwards.

11. Gwar's claim to fame is, of course,
splattering huge amounts of fake blood in a variety of creative ways on stage. I can see why Faux News would find him appealing.

13. Does kind of make you wonder how
Edited on Thu Sep-03-09 07:56 PM by AsahinaKimi
The right wing Christian movement support a news network such as Fox that likes and shows "Satanic" (in their terms,not mine) sounding or looking Rock bands. Unless,... they already figure that this is the beginning of the End times already, so why the hell not. (?)
