Not today, Satan. Not today.
Last week, a stoic news anchor successfully handled a devilishly emaciated situation when a clip was aired showing a satanic ritual during its segment.
It began when Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) presenter Yvonne Yong quietly informed the public of the new animal legislation during a live online program. “The state government announced the proposed legislation today. This is partly due to the stabbing of a police dog during an arrest in Brisbane last year, ”he said.
The marker and images lined up with his speech as he continued. But as he uttered the words, “The new law proposes prison for injuring police animals,” a banal, muted clip of masked officials walking and talking all of a sudden at a red moment when a surrounded figure says with enthusiasm “Health Satan” in front of an inverted cross and behind an altar dressed in red.
After a brief moment of silence, Yong continued, fearless.
The clip was later posted on Twitter, where it went viral.
“The satanic slip of the ABC. What was going on here? ” he tweeted Australian Media Watch Media Account.
In response to a viewer’s question, “What happened to the satanic ceremony,” Yong answered “It was a system error and a pretty unfortunate time!”
When the viewer he asked if there was “another story you were telling about the church of Satan? It’s funny why you’d have a random launch of a satanic ritual, ”Yong confirmed that was really the case.
“We posted another story with those pictures that night,” he said he wrote.
However, the images were not of the Church of Satan, nor of the separate Satanic Temple, but of a different group of devil worship, according to the NME Temple of Satan.
Noosa Temple made Australian news last year to argue that Satanists should be allowed to teach religious courses in schools and that the clip came from one of their live broadcasts during this campaign, NME added.
“ABC’s satanic rescue goes viral with millions of views,” Noosa Temple proudly said he tweeted.
