The church gained early attention in 1995 because of its affiliation with paranoia.com, which hosted many controversial sites during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Members later appeared on an episode of
The Jerry Springer Show titled "I Want to Join a Suicide Cult". Following the
September 11 attacks, the church posted on its website a four-minute music video titled
I Like to Watch, combining hardcore
pornography with footage of the attacks and the
collapse of the World Trade Center. Over the video played an electronic soundtrack recorded by Korda with the lyrics, "People dive into the street / While I play with my meat" and "My steel melted and my
tower's coming down." It also showed a man
ejaculating and then cleaning himself with an American flag. Korda described the project as reflecting her "contempt for and frustration with the profound ugliness of the modern industrial world." The church's instructions on "how to kill yourself" by
asphyxiation with
helium were removed from its website in 2003 after a 52-year-old woman used them and died by suicide in
St. Louis County, Missouri, resulting in legal threats against the organization. == See also ==
