You can buy your mother-in-law a first class ticket to Hell

Seriously. For $15.95 you can purchase the ultimate Hell getaway package which includes:

  • Demonic issued certificate of reservation, officially registered in Satan’s Log™ and prepared on flame-proof material.
  • A one way, free-fall ticket to Hell. What better way to get there then a non-stop, direct drop?
  • The Official Hell Identification Card so you can get around without getting hassled.
  • Hell 101 mini informational guide, outlining things you need to know to survive the nightmare.
  • All access VIP pass. This pass will grant you access to “VIP exclusive areas” including the Frozen Wasteland, the Lake of Fire and the Bridge of Dead, where all the hotties get together and kick it.

Reserveaspotinhell.com asks what sounds better, singing songs and reading books in Heaven or taking shots with strippers in Hell?

The site boasts that Less than 0.000001% of our reservation holders have had problems getting themselves or someone else  into Hell.

Fiery damnation not your thing? Then reserve a spot in Heaven. What sounds better to you, eternal happiness or endless damnation? They even offer a 100% money back guarantee.

Seem a bit blasphemous? Just a bit. I was a little uncomfortable when I first happened upon the sites but then I saw the humor and how these “kits” would make a great gag gift. What does bother me is that they are actually charging for these kits. I think I would feel better about poking fun at Heaven and Hell if the proceeds were going to charity.

Maybe I’m just jealous that I didn’t think of it.

Nah, I don’t think I could sleep at night knowing I was playing God. I wouldn’t want to tick Him off and the worry of people at church finding out what I was selling would not be worth it.

Just goes to show you can sell just about anything with the right marketing. Maybe these  are the same guys who came up with the Pet Rock.

What do you think of this?

    That is funny. Although, I’d have to find some one else to give that to as I love my MIL to death.

    My poor MIL already has all the hell she’ll ever need — loud-mouth me as a daughter in law

    This is funny though :)

    No way in HELL that I would reserve a space for my MIL. She is the BEST. Although I do have someone else in mind…..

    Without looking at the site, I’d say pretty funny. (Though I’m thinkin there aren’t actually strippers and jello shots in Hell. Devil’s marketing ploy that is.)

    I really like my mother in law and wouldn’t send her this. That said, it is rather amusing!

    Hi —

    Thankfully, I like my MIL. But I can not show this post to the wife

    LOL. Well, I find it humorous… Plus, I already call my MIL ‘SATAN’, so this might be the way to go for Mother’s Day. :)

    My grandmother once gave me a very official-looking “Gift Certificate to Dr. Kevorkian’s Office.” She told me I should pass it on to anyone who annoyed me.

    I thought that was pretty damned funny, but this is hellarious.

    (Really, now, if God doesn’t have a sense of humor, wherefore the platypus, hmm?)

    Hmmm. I can think of lots of people I’d fantasize about sending this to… But I don’t think I’d have the balls to send it. Oh wait… I would send it to my hubby’s ex boss.

    That is too funny. Thanks for the laughs. Too bad most of my relatives think I’m the one going to hell… I’m not so sure they would think this is as funny as I do… which makes it all the more freakin’ hilarious!

    It is pretty funny. Like you, though, I wouldn’t waste the money on it. Sadly, a few people popped into my mind when I read this. LOL No skipping church for me today!

    When I first met my MIL I would have found this hilarious; but over the few years that we grew to respect each other, we became best friends before she passed away suddenly and at a young age.(I’m 22, she would be 47, and she died almost a year ago) and so now, though I cannot buy her a ticket to Heaven–the sentiment behind it is what counts… no matter how satirical, blasphemous, or however else you want to describe it.
