And if they aren't trying to convert straights, why are they so attractive?

Yeah, as some people have said, how crudely drawn and/or obscure do the characters have to be to be safe?

Well, Black Parade wasn't great, but for what it was, it did the job. I enjoyed it, at least. On another note - ShriketheAvatar - Your first two sentences made me laugh because that's how I feel. I love this column, but it makes me feel superior.

20 years ago
It would have rocked the entertainment world 20 years ago, because it was written in 1991! People would have been all like, "Holy shit! It's only 1990. This letter is from the future!"

Feces
"One involves Bell ending up covered in mud and ant bites."
