God Hates the Spider-Man Musical and All Who Work on It

?As well he should. On Friday, October 29th, Spidey musical actor Kevin Rubin (one of the many stunt men who play Spidey during the stunts) told the New York Times he broke both his wrists doing “in a kind of sling-shot effect — from the back of the stage to its lip, where he landed with notable force.”I wasn’t going to report it — any news from the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark musical is kind of bad news to me — except that latter that day another actor told the Times that he had broken both his feet a month earlier doing the exact same stunt.
Now, I don’t want to jump to any conclusions here, but I think it’s obvious that the Spider-Man musical is the work of Satan, and God himself is punishing those who are participating in its evil. Of course, if this means God is going to smite Bono, I’m 100% down with that. (Via The AV Club)
