FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARCH 31, 1997
EUTHANISTS WILL HONOR HEAVEN'S GATE
The Church of Euthanasia will honor the deceased members of Heaven's Gate
in a ceremony to be held Sunday, April 13 at 3:00pm on the Boston Common.
The heroic web designers will be made honorary members of the Church of
Euthanasia, and after a service led by Rev. Chris Korda, 39 earthworms will
be released from containers into the grass. The male Heaven's Gate members
will receive special honors for undergoing surgical castration in their
efforts to avoid procreation.
Euthanists advocate restoring balance between Humans and the remaining
species on Earth through voluntary population reduction, and actively
support the right-to-die, pro-abortion, animal rights and sexual pleasure
movements. Their DADA-inspired tactics and vociferous opposition to the
Christian pro-fertility cults led to spectacular confrontations in front of
abortion clinics last year.
The Church of Euthanasia was founded in 1992 after Rev. Korda channeled the
alien message "SAVE THE PLANET--KILL YOURSELF." Like Heaven's Gate, the
Church has an international following, and disseminates its point of view
through the Internet, as well as paid advertising, musical releases, and
its journal, "Snuff It."
Rev. Chris Korda will also appear on the web-exploring PBS TV show
"Internet Cafe" during the week following April 18. Please check your local
listings for the exact date and time.
