Mr. America is a fantastical amalgamation, a delicately crafted
song and dance of comedy, drama, science fiction and much more. The
text is imbued with psychological, biological, and anthropological
undertones. Though the story is written as a uniquely psychedelic
and poetic experience to pleasure a hungry imagination... add sex
The tale is woven around a beauty pageant held in Las Vegas where
the beauty contenders are among some of the most evilly beautiful
beauty-efficient men in the world. While extraordinarily beautiful,
they are a bit obtuse, as they're unwittingly carrying within
themselves a substandard genetic strain of somewhat human DNA.
Hence, they aren't exactly human and it's because of this that
supernatural forces, seeking to enable a humanity-wasting
apocalypse, easily influence them. The supernatural evil-sighs use
the Beauty Kings absolute beauty to wield their influences and
powers across the globe, creating general ill will and misdoings,
by imprinting an apocalypse-enabling wish list upon their would-be
humans' psyches. As the beauty contenders strut about with an
august power, a musical cast of angry teenagers and aliens plot to
enhance the beauty contenders' DNA to change the future course of
the Earth's seemingly imminent meltdown. The alien Cornelis and the
angry teenagers work together, inside a vortex, creating a serum to
help the Anti-Apocalypse Movement. While tripping on mushrooms and
smoking marijuana, they take a magical journey within their minds
to add insight to their ludicrous humanity-saving plans.
