‘Love’ and hate

Before watching IRON MAN, I was forced to sit through the trailer for Mike Myer’s upcoming atrocity, THE LOVE GURU, which looks like it might have the distinction of being the worst movie ever made not starring a Wayans.

But the lack of laughs isn’t the only problem, here. There’s also the nagging issue of (near) eternal damnation.

The Web site Defamer.com reports that besides being blasted by spiritual leaders all over the world, the movie could, literally, send Myers and company to Hell. And not just development hell, either. 

Defamer quotes Sean Clarke, editor of the Spiritual Science Research Foundation as saying “based on an afterlife demerit point system, those involved with making the movie can anticipate residence in the second region of hell for 1,000 years.”

Don’t think Mike and his co-stars are the only ones in for centuries of fiery torment. You, the ticket buyer, could be in trouble as well. Defamer continues: ”Watching it for entertainment would carry its share of consequences, too.”

Of course, after watching THE LOVE GURU, you’ve already spent about two hours in hell. Does that count as time served?
