Trust the Twister to ferret out a deep, deep dark secret - a blog and "an ongoing community art project where people can mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard." The blog looks very artistic, but I don't know how cathartic it really is because you just post a one-liner but can't really do a confessional.
Mo Twister did a more ingenious spin-off from this original idea by asking listeners to confess their secrets anonymously on air, and the results were one of the most entertaining moments in radio history.
Although the confessions were semi-tragic, I didn't know whether to laugh like a jack-ass by my lonesome self - the stories were stranger than fiction!
The first caller had five abortions ( I could hear Grace Lee and the Mojo choking on their Ogie dogie hotdogs if they were eating something); the next had a wife and a girlfriend on the side (but his voice sounded Nonoy Menggoy-ish hahahahahaha:); the next slept with a first cousin when he was ten years old and the cousin was 14 and the cous-affair is still ongoing despite both being married.
Grace Lee had her own confession - one of her acquaintances had a menage-a-deux with a 48 year old and a younger guy, and when she became pregnant, Grace's friend didn't know who the father was. The older guy was a happy 'bachelor' and wasn't interested in getting married. Younger guy married the girl but she didn't confess that she was pregnant with the other guy. When the baby came out,Grace's acquaintance thought the baby looked exactly like the 48 year old guy. Did she confess? No, until today Grace's friend continues the lie.
Now, which is the more evil deed? The girl who had 5 abortions or the girl who told a multi-generational lie?
According to the Twister, Grace's friend has the heavier sin because her lie will affect not only her, but will affect many other people's lives, while the abortionist will only hurt herself.
Do you agree?
