After seeing 'Hell' and 'Porco Dio' sprawled on his chest, whilst running about in nappies (or diapers) and molesting a goat; all you got to comment on is his hair?

[thebigpecolaman]

PORCA DIO.

[serpico89]

oh i see :X

[serpico89]

:0 

[thebigpecolaman]

It is an italian curse that can be traslated in english like "Pig God".

From bad-seed[dot]org: On Nick's chest in the video for the Birthday Party song Nick The Stripper, is written the phrase: "Porca Dio". The phrase is translated as "Pig God" by Rowland S. Howard. It may be used as a curse or swearing phrase. The proper spelling for the phrase is "Porco Dio", considering Porca seems feminine and Dio is masculine.

[serpico89]

this is what hell looks like. and i mean that in a good way.

[serpico89]

what does that mean?

[vincent c.c. guitar]

I love them...their music is highly "habit forming"!!!

[Carl Wilkinson]

Hell yeah with the FREAK FLAG.

[marashutzi]

Lol. How in the fuck did he ended up with porco dio in his chest?

[Naldo Creek]

He puts sex in my brain:)
