[kj] Used CDs. . .

[Leigh Newton]

that's what got me as well! the ministry part is
fucking hilarious. 

i think shit like this is not to be taken too
seriously. i think accuracy is given a backseat to
being funny in an outrageous and slightly perverse
way. it's good for a laugh and not much more. nothing
to set your tastes by, for damn sure.
