Of particular note is the mock "Ask Me Anything" session with a Tsalal poster, who regards the nightmarish horror of the culture around him as [[DeliberateValuesDissonance normal, if slightly embarrassing]]. The Tsalal poster is inordinately proud of himself for convincing restaurants to stop selling the meat of Irish slaves, and while he admits says that he has never seen ''Film/TheHumanCentipede'', he claims to have met one once.

--> Oh I hate [the Tsalal adaptation of {{Literature/The 120 Days Of Sodom}}]. Festival time when we were kids, we'd get dragged out to watch it, every single year.

[[GodIsEvil God]] sends a series of visions to terrorize Skrog, but instead of knuckling down, Skrog becomes ever more adamantly opposed to God and God's will. His example is so ferocious that the community rallies around Skrog, and in the end, they sacrifice all the newborns, in a massive blood ritual.
