The devil is struggling to cope with increased custom

Satan has announced that souls who had previously been damned for eternity will be released before this term, after he announced that numbers had reached record levels.

"There are a number of issues which are contributing to this situation."Lucifer told this website in an exclusive interview."Firstly, the whole issue of religious extremism has confused matters enormously. There are a whole lot of suicide bombers who are mightily surprised when they end up down here - not quite the gardens full of willing virgins they were were expecting I can tell you. And then of course the Catholic church is not helping the situation."

At this point the Prince of Darkness burst into laughter: "Did you hear the latest from that new pope that him upstairs has put in place? Apparently you offend God not only by stealing, blaspheming or coveting your neighbour's wife, but also by ruining the environment, carrying out morally debatable scientific experiments, or allowing genetic manipulations which alter DNA or compromise embryos. I mean for God's sake (my little joke) who does that leave?"

Beelzebub finished by saying: "Our big dilemma is what to do with these souls if we do release them - I mean I am not used to running restart programmes."
