HOLY WOOD: NEW RELIGION BASED ON B-MOVIE DIRECTOR ED WOOD

PHOENIX (Wireless Flash) -- Ed Wood -- the infamous transvestite who directed some of the world's worst motion pictures -- is now a religious icon. A 23-year-old minister and college student in Arizona has created a religion dedicated to the man who created Plan 9 From Outer Space. The Reverend Steve Galindo calls his spiritual practice "Woodism" and says it uses Wood's films as a bible to teach followers it's OK to do anything you want. Galindo claims more than 5000 "Woodites" have been baptized into the church which also requires brides and grooms to cross-dress for wedding ceremonies.
