Dear Demon Barber, Sweeney Todd

Sweeney Todd is the new movie, directed by Tim Burton, and starring Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. This is the story of an ordinary fellow, who got in trouble with someone rich and powerful and had his life and family destroyed. He was sent to rot in prison, but somehow gets out. He then becomes Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber, who takes in his customers, cuts their throats, and then with the help of his lady friend, they become meat pies. Not a totally appetizing tale, but it is not only becoming a full length movie, but also a musical. Find out about this great movie, visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site, and you can even make your own confession of desiring revenge.

You can go to the Demon Barber Confessional, and make your own confession, that can be written, audio or a video, of your own asks of revenge that you enjoyed. In fact, each one of us has probably nourished a resentment, and engaged in an act of revenge, probably rather mild, not of course, cutting someone's throat and turning them into a meat pie.

My own act of revenge concerned a blogger who persisted in slandering and insulting a political legend and hero of mine. I was rather limited in my acts of revenge, since I don't even know her real name or place of residence. So I just made fun of her in her comments, and that she must believe in ridiculous things like the real estate bubble. I got this rumor out on the blog about six months ago. Now, that the whole real estate bubble is crashing, she is the one looking like an idio and a fool. I guess that is a little meat pie of revenge. It might have been a bit more tasty, if I got to tell it to her face, but at least her online reputation stands to be very damaged.
