Hmn, I got something I wrote a few years ago that might as well be

THE S.D.A.

Do you long for a simpler time? 
A time of ignorance, illiteracy, oppression, and disease? 
A time when beating people up with sticks was considered a romantic 
art form? 

                      JOIN THE S. D. A. 

The S.D.A. (Sociopaths of the Dark Ages) is an organization dedicated to
reviving the values and attitudes of Mediaeval Europe. 

FEAST on maggoty meat, moldy bread, and muddy wine! 

ENJOY MIDEAVAL SPORTS like bull baiting, cat bashing, witch burning,
heretic torturing, and dying a broken down scrofulous wreck by your early
30s!

RELIVE THE GOOD OLD DAYS when men were men and women were property!
When you had the freedom to defecate any where at any time! When any
official of the all knowing True Church could imprison you, kill you, and
send you to eternal damnation at whim! 

Of course, you can pay to join the S.D.A. as a minor noble (like everyone
else has), but we especially want to recruit peasants. Peasantry get to
do all the work for the nobility, in exchange for which the nobility get
to beat, rob, torture, rape, and kill the peasantry for amusement. 
We wish to restore the proper Dark Ages balance of hundreds of peasants
for each noble... at present we have an unfortunate shortage of
peasants (well, okay, none actually). Join as a peasant and the S.D.A.
will waive your initiation fee. You need only to supply your own 
historically accurate costume (consisting of a head to toe covering 
of mud, manure, lice, ticks, and open sores).
