Panti-Christ? what the hell is it? i reckon they wonder about that one themselves on their website, pantichrist.com:
Yeah, Panti-Christ, what the hell is it? Is there really more to it than just mere sexy underwear and bikinis? And this Pantyland… where the hell is it? Let me tell ya, people have been asking us these questions for years. And as the official Panti-Christ spokesman I can tell you we got the answers, but still, we ain’t telling ya!
We decided ‘our little secret’ is best kept with us. You never know who is gonna ruin a good thing like this by telling all the wrong people about it. Sometimes you gotta know when to keep your fool mouth shut… so that’s what we’ve decided to do. We’ll let you in on our secret in due time. World Domination doesn’t happen over night, and good chance it won’t happen here if our secret gets out. But we know you can keep a secret and we want you to join our ‘Forces Of Sexy’ to make this happen. We’ve invited people like you here to Pantyland to participate in keeping our secret as TOP SECRET as possible. Can you do that?
the ‘forces of sexy’ are to be joined!!!!11
