Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip’n’Gadget! Creepy Cults! Ch-ch-ch–

Okay, okay, I’ll stop singing, but every time I see these photos of a Russian cult(/prank?) that supposedly worships Chip’n’Dale’s Rescue Rangers character Gadget Hackwrench, who is admittedly the cutest female cartoon mouse ever (suck it, Minnie).

But I have a hard time believing that this is the real deal and not a prank. I can speak to the fact that people will take all sorts of goofy photos in the name of a light prank! Remember the Jedi phenomenon?

On the other hand…they DID get that very high-quality Gadget stand-up banner printed…and if they really WERE a religion, would they be aroused or offended by all the Gadget porn online? (Yes, it exists.)
