Call it a case of fanaticism (or lamentation) over Disney Afternoon being pulled off the airwaves. A group of pious individuals from Russia found its savior in the form of an animated mouse: Gadget Hackwrench from Disney's long-canceled series "Rescue Rangers."


When asked why they find Gadget so endearing, one of her devotees had this to say: "Why I love her? It's stupid question, how I can't love the Goddess? She is strict, cute, optimistic and her level of technical knowledge is unachievable for a mortal being."

Their admiration for Gadget doesn't stop at mere adulation. A typical day for this cult involves serenading an image of their beloved with music, partaking in meals together and then hitting the town to vandalize public property with obnoxiously large stickers featuring Gadget's godly visage.

They're apparently not the first folks to take a special interest in the comely mouse -- a mountain of fan fiction quibbles over which Rescue Ranger (Chip or Dale) she would be more likely to mate with. Seriously.

Take a peek at this cult's bizarre lifestyle after the jump.
