Is this supposed to be Bill Clinton with the 666 on his forehead?
Because obviously, Christianity and Capitalism go together
It actually says "Babylon" on her forehead.
Generic starving kids in Africa

Play on "Apocalypse Now." I.e. The War on Terror as fateful hubris of American Foreign Policy. The Endgame brings Revelation. Or as Billy Joel would say, "We didn't start the fire, so let's have a coke and a hot dog and enjoy our demise."
In 1992 I started a scrapbook I still have. This is a bizarre piece of junk mail I got. It was addressed to "Resident" at my apt in Charlottesville, Virginia.
It's filled with different people, and I suppose the beefy white guy with the 666 on his forehead is supposed to be Bill Clinton.
It's a peculiar artifact.
The sender was one "Seminars Unlimited" of PO Box 66, Keene Texas, 76059
It's 14 years later, I guess the end times still haven't gotten here yet.
If anyone can help i.d. anyone else in the painting, please feel free to annotate with a note.

The guy in the foreground looks like a beefy
Rudolph Giuliani, to me at least. If you go
back that far, he might have even had hair!

To me, that Bill Clinton looks more like John
Kerry. Is it just me? Is the lady by the
white house the lady from Ghostbusters?
That is a crazy piece of mail, dude. If it
were a trailer for a movie, I think I'd have
to see it!

Yeah, John Kerry, I see that too! Although it
might be a bit before his time, I don't think
he'd be Apocalypse-worthy. Not that Giuliani
is either actually...

Hee hee. Yeah! could be "The
Gatekeeper" played by Sigourney Weaver.
And the "Antichrist" looks too
beefy to be either man. Giuliani was already
bald, and in 1992 he was not yet mayor of
NYC. Likewise, I don't think Kerry was any
kind of political figure. If they actually
had a picture of either of these men I'd be
spooked. As it is, the end times have not
come, and they have the wrong pope in there.
Oh, and I think Giuliani didn't have hair
back then, either. :-)

Hey, Joe. This is a classic. I added some hot
zones for you. Pardon the humor in doing so.
Peace,

There's no humor in portraying Anne Coulter
as hot. None at all. Even if she is the bride
of Satan.
Hey, look at me, I'm demonizing and
dehumanizing the enemy! That kind of fun is
not just for right-wingers anymore...

I love the little serpent details... how,
erm, "charming." Is it supposed to
be scary? It's just funny! :)

The serpents could be Moray Eels.
And there's definitely a high goofy factor.

This kind of hilarious spam delivered direct
to your door almost makes me want to move to
a red state.

well, boo d, it was delivered to my door a
long long time ago, so I'm not sure if it's
worth moving based on it. :-)

that is an advertisement for a Revelation
Seminar put on by the Seventh-day Adventist
church. I lived in Keene, Texas where that
flyer was produced for almost 20 years. If
you ever get the chance or hear about another
Revelation Seminar you should definately try
and attend at least one of the meetings.

Yes, I've been to several of them. They're
very good introductory lessons about God and
Life.
