Ministry/YMMV

"As for Paul and me, it is the same thing as to when you are in a marriage for twenty years and come to a point when you have run out of new sexual positions. It was no fun any more."
 * Dork Age: Filth Pig and Dark Side of the Spoon are not held in high regard by most fans.
 * Fandom Rivalry: Sometimes pops up between Ministry and Nine Inch Nails. These fans forget that Jourgensen's friends with Trent Reznor and both have occasionally worked together.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: "Cannibal Song"
 * Ho Yay:
 * Al's relationship with long-time collaborator, Paul Barker:
 * In interviews, Al frequently compared them to Kirk and Spock. And when asked about why Barker left the band in 2003, Al said:


 * Al and Paul particularly sound like a sitcom couple in Chris Connelly's memoir of his time in Ministry and related projects, with Al as the Bumbling Dad and Paul as his Closer to Earth spouse.
 * It's also rumored that Al's new wife might have been a factor in their parting. If nothing else, the timing is certainly suspect.
 * Memetic Outfit: The band's leather cowboy/biker appearance, Al's sunglasses and bandanna.
