The Death of Shrines

December 11th, 2005

Have you heard?

In 1973 there were over one-hundred and fifty thousand freaky, psycho shrines being maintained throughout the United States. Crafted by obsessed stalkers and overly-emotionally invested fans, dark corners of apartments and basements of houses had been transformed into candle-lit, picture-collaged, eerie shrines of goodness.

But in 2005? Shrines are quickly toying with the concept of extinction.

Sure, celebrities spend millions of dollars per year on lawyers who spend their time filing restraining orders on those who just want to share their love for you…with you. Stalkers and obsessive fans who have created a ten foot high collage of your face out of thousands of tiny pictures of your face (it’s an art unto itself) are quickly yanked back from their passions by Johnny Lawman.
