Voodoo Doll

         Bizarre Programs Review from Graham Raven

"Thank you for taking a look at Voodoo Doll. I think you will find
it to be a useless piece of software. But then again, it gives you
something to do with your time. And if you have enemies, or you
want to win the lottery, it may work."

So sayeth the creator of Voodoo doll.

This is a strange program which may amuse those with a taste for
the bizarre. You know that woman who lives across the road and
always looks at you in a funny way, or the guy who beat you to
promotion when you know full well that you deserved it more than
he ever did - the world is full of people who are in need of the
balance of fate adjusting against them!

To use the program is simplicity itself and needs very little in
terms of instruction. You start with an image of a Voodoo doll
which you name appropriately. This has now become your enemy! Can
you not feel their fear? A strange, dark and sinister power is
already reaching out to them from the, er, darkness, ready to
haunt their every moment! (gulp!)

Large sharp nasty stabby things (pins!) are 'drag and dropped'
into the areas of their bodies which you think deserve most
attention. Stabbing pains between the eyes, a gammy leg maybe or
even a sexually transmitted disease? Add more pins to your heart's
desire and picture your victim writhing in agony (this is
optional). When you are satisfied with your efforts click the
'effect curse' button and the spell will be cast (you can tell by
the wiggly lines on screen).

Apparently the doll can also be used in more positive ways, to
bless as well as blast, but I suspect the latter is more fun.

A very silly bit of fun which should be viewed as nothing more
than that! NO! It DOESN'T really work! Not at all, no matter what
the newspapers might say. But you might indulge yourself on odd
occasions sticking pins 'into' your boss for example, and maybe
feel better for doing so.

Like driving motor vehicles, playing with sharp objects or
generally being left along and unsupervised, this program should
not be used by the simple minded or unstable!

NB. The creator warns you to register the shareware version or
else he may use his Voodoo doll on you! All he asks is $5 in
return for pride of ownership and peace of mind! (it that all?)

You can download Voodoo doll free from my website - and if
something comes down the chimney and gets you, don't blame me!
