I Can't Make This Stuff Up

If you've ever wondered just how embarrassingly bad band photo-shoots can be, then I suggest you look no further than Ruthless Reviews' Top 10 Most Ridiculous Black Metal Pics of All Time.  Guaranteed to make you think goths are well adjusted.

For those who are confused by this and want some background:  take a bunch of guys who can't quite figure out that Venom was all an elaborate joke, combine with liberal helpings of Ronnie James Dio's worst lyrics, and top off with makeup that would make even Kiss ashamed, and you've got a stereotypical black metal band.  For some reason Scandanavian countries, and Norway in particular, seem to be prone to taking it all a little to seriously.  ("But what of the music," you ask?  Trust me, you're better off having never heard it.)

Actually, I lie; Gene Simmons has no shame.

No points today, as I can't think of any quote anything cheesy enough to do this link justice.
