Just once. Just to shut him up. <\/p>\n<p>Zak Bagans; how can I aptly convey my loathing. Let\u2019s see\u2026 combine everything in the world that annoys me and make it physically manifest into a person wearing an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.afflictionclothingstore.com\/Affliction-Mens\/departments\/1\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Affliction<\/a> shirt with over-tweezed eyebrows and hair gel\u2026 and boom, you got Zak Bagans.  I mean, any man that would willing do this to his eyebrows and hair. Gads! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/66\/2012\/07\/douchbaggery.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/66\/2012\/07\/douchbaggery.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"douchbaggery\" width=\"600\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6821\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Have I mentioned how much the European trend of men over-grooming their eyebrows unnerves me? It\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.thegloss.com\/files\/2011\/04\/demon.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">unnatural and freakish<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been fortunate enough to have never seen the show and gone blissfully unaware that Zak Bagans exist, than congratulations. Allow me to ruin your life. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelchannel.com\/tv-shows\/ghost-adventures\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ghost Adventures<\/a> is a show hosted on the Travel Channel. Zak and his crew travel to locations reported as haunted and spend the night \u201clocked down\u201d inside till dawn. Once inside they break out their fancy equipment that is supposed to pick up ghostly voices and images. But mostly they walk trying to provoke ghosts\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iPaGbuAli_I?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself saying \u201cYeah, punch him! C\u2019mon, just one punch!\u201d then you are having a normal reaction to the clip.  <\/p>\n<p>Look, whether you believe in ghosts or not, we can probably agree that this isn\u2019t the best or most respectful way to treat the dead. In fact, I think this kind of stuff is very dangerous, even if Zak knows he\u2019s full of malarkey. You just don\u2019t play with the paranormal, opening yourself up to demonic influences. He once even admitted to getting possessed and said the experience was \u201ckinda cool\u201d. If he believed the crap he was selling he would not have this blase reaction to possession. He would be very scared. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, kids\u2026 demons are real. So are spooks. Don\u2019t willingly try to anger them and don\u2019t play with the occult. If you think you\u2019ve seen a ghost it could be a soul in purgatory or it could be a demon\u2026 either way, say a prayer while you\u2019re quickly getting the hell outta there. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 I don\u2019t know what it is about this show, but I can\u2019t stop watching.
