The blogosphere and cable television got more heated than fried cheese in Paula Dean’s kitchen about President Obama’s and Vice-President Biden’s recent trip to Ray’s Hell Burger.
Peeping the footage at a corner store, I didn’t give a damn about the story’s culinary focus. I was thrilled to see the most famous man in the world sharing the frame with a huge poster for Mantis in Lace! Now this is the kind of juxtaposition that makes life worth living. In fact, I think I’ll call it a day as soon as I finish posting this item.
Look over your shoulder, Biden. Mantis in Lace‘s Lila has a cleaver for you.
Psychotronic maniacs will tell you that Mantis in Lace is the tale of Lila, a loner stripper chick who doses herself with copious LSD as she seduces men back to her beatnik lair and kills them. It has a theme song, lots of mod wackiness, and one of the best movie titles ever. It’s also a favorite of the artist and zine inventor G.B. Jones.
It’s great to see our leader eating next to this archival treasure from Times Square’s heyday. But I won’t be fully satisfied until we see Obama eating a vegetarian meal next to a lobby card for Deadly Spawn.
