"The Stuff I Find At Work Online On YouTube" Dept.:

From the classic 1981 episode of the 90 minute SCTV, Wendy O Williams and the Plasmatics show up on Gil Fisher's "Fishin' Musician" where they first:

- Find a gorilla in an abandoned mine that Wendy beats the Hell out of, before changing into "Dress Formal" for a fine meal put together by the camp cook Enrique:



And then:

- Perform a song praising Lucifer as the new Lord of Mankind, and trash the set.



CBC paid for it, broadcast it in Prime Time, and nobody raised an eyebrow.

That "Censored" shot wasn't there when the show first aired, either, folks...

women we love, being canadian, canadiana, sctv, sharing the wealth, tv joy!!!, you can't make this stuff up
