Why are we all evil and stuff?
Apparently 620 WTMJ conservative talk radio thinks we’re evil, but as it turns out, we’re not sacrificing goats on alters made of Girl Scouts. As a matter of fact, you can hear more negativity in ten minutes of talk radio than you’ll find on this entire site. Here is the boring reality of it, which is far less sinister than the skeletons in most people’s closets:
Many of us here in Wisconsin have grown up on the stories of Ed Gein, the first time in modern history that humanity was forced to acknowledge the dark depths we were capable of. The incidents that inspired some of the most shocking and terrifying films ever made were our bedtime stories. Many of us still have friends, family or neighbors whose lives were somehow directly or indirectly affected by Ed Gein.
We have been raised on a profound example of what desperate loneliness and extreme religious bigotry are capable of doing to the fragile human psyche.
Folklorist Robert E. Gard wrote in his book Wisconsin Lore that our state has more ghosts per square mile than any other state in the union. Many of the great minds involved in Wisconsin’s alternative art and culture have been uniquely shaped by these and many of the other bizarre tales of UFOs, strange creatures and backwoods madmen.
Wisconsin is responsible for two of the world’s most deranged killers and cannibals, driven by repression, intolerance and the sheltered inability to communicate or relate to others. Beer and football are acceptable but art and pursuit of enlightenment are not.
Wisconsin Sickness does not represent an obsession with evil, but is instead a study – an exploration of the collective unconscious through art, film, music and other forms of expression.
How many of these artists have killed people? Considering Nate’s Satanic obsession with Wisconsin’s porn stores, he probably has a dead hooker or two in his closet, but we’re all decent people coming together to support each other.
Who is really doing more harm?
Nothing good has ever come from living sheltered lives suppressing what is basic human instinct on the grounds that someone might not understand, or expecting others to be ashamed of their different perspectives and free thinking.
You can live inside your box if you want to.
The box is a cage – I’ll take my chances in the wilderness.
I want to thank all of you, from all over, who are supporting Stacy Hintz and spreading the word about the ridiculous injustice plaguing Wisconsin Sickness right now.
Also, thanks to the JJO Morning Show, the Milwaukee A.V. Club, Ron Purtee and everyone else for sharing the story.

I ran across y’alls story on facebook via the Huffington Post. It honestly doesn’t surprise me about the ostracization you guys are going through. I remember as a teen my family forcing me to go to church because they thought that through my art and the music I preferred, I worshiped the devil. Of course it also didnt help that I follow a neo-pagan path as well and unfortunately due to the negative media that also brought out the accusations. Enough about me though, I hope you can put these people in their place and thus showing the children of the area that living a lifestyle that is not widely acceptable does not make the person evil.
Best of luck from New Orleans…
P.s. I will be sending some of my friends to this site for yall…

To Stacy:
I am totally disgusted by what has happened to you. I am incredibly sorry that you have been treated so horribly by people who are nothing but ignorant. There is nothing wrong with *whatever* you decide to do with YOUR free time. You have served these children well only to be shit on by cookie cutter moms who do nothing but spread the intolerance that plagues America. Never change who you are!!

No dead hookers at my place. I like my hookers alive and wiggling, and they’re always released unharmed, and back into the wild.
Seriously though, that article I wrote is easily the most benign thing on the entire site. I’m too much a teddy bear to anger the media.
