I went horseback riding one time with college chums in Hell, MI 17 or 18 years ago. A strange name for a town if you ask me. Lends itself to all types of sick jokes. The First Church of Hell. Hell High School. The Hell Optimist's Club. Some goofballs are celebrating today (6-6-06). See here.
Seems to me that making light of hell is like telling jokes about Auschwitz - only a thousand times worse. "Hell" parties are only cute if you don't actually believe there is such a place. For those of us who think that millions of people are suffering eternal torment, the humor is kinda lost.
