When this image first surfaced in the pages of a metal magazine, it was just a playful depiction of the Prince of Darkness as a family guy, goofing around with his kids, accompanying an interview in which his madman image is played against his affectionate family life. There was no way to know what a harbinger of cultural doom it was, that cameras would be returning sixteen years later and inadvertently sowing the seeds of Gosselin Fever.

But, cute pic, huh? (And I’m really looking forward to reading Sharon’s autobiography.)
