Hell On Earth

Go to Hell... No, really.

This Tuesday is numerically 6-6-06, and the co-incidence will be taken advantage of by all sorts of cheesy punsters, like the producers of The Omen, who have chosen that day as the perfect co-incidence (Riiiight) to release their devil-themed movie.

Case in point: Hell, Michigan. There will be one hell (haha) of a party this Tuesday, according to the Mayor of Hell, John Colone.

Mayor Colone also owns a souvenir shop, and will be selling 666 limited edition tee-shirts and coffee mugs, along with one square-inch deeds to the town of Hell. The price? $6.66.

From the AP:

The 666 revelry is just the latest chapter in the town's storied history of publicity stunts, said Jason LeTeff, one of its 72 year-round residents - or, as the mayor calls them, Hellions or Hell-billies. But LeTeff wasn't particularly enthused.

"Now, here I am living in Hell, taking my kids to church and trying to teach them the right things and the town where we live is having a 6-6-6 party," he said.

Dude... You live in HELL. Did you think they were going to let this one go by?
