Apparently, he said this with a straight face, too

Brian has, oooh, really spooked everyone out by invoking the Dev to promote his tour with Slayer:

"Satan is alive and well and living on the planet Earth, and now you know exactly where to find him - this tour."

Ooh! He'll be doing a pentangle in biro on the back of his hand next, and mucking about with ouija boards and god knows what else.

Satan issued a statement in response: "Look, I've got a lot on at the moment trying to get Falwell settled in, so let's keep this brief. Even if I did exist and wasn't merely a construct of religion desperate to have some sort of stick to keep the folk in line, do you seriously think I'd waste my time going on a bloody Marilyn Manson tour, listening to him night after night? I'm meant to be the one who inflicts the misery round here. Anyway, what's with Manson? Is he, like, ten? Does he think life is some sort of perpetual round of trick or treating?"
