About PANTY & STOCKING WITH GARTERBELT: Panty and Stocking -- the Anarchy Sisters -- are two nasty angels who got booted from the pearly gates for being foul-mouthed bitches! Now they spend their days blowing up ghosts in the lecherous abyss between Heaven and Earth. Panty likes sex, Stocking likes sweets, their afro-sporting main man Garter Belt has a fetish we can`t mention. Together, they`re keeping the streets free of bodily fluids. Ghosts don`t have a prayer against their panty pistols and stocking swords, and if this debaucherous duo can collect enough Heaven Coins, they just might get their halos back. They`ve got a slim chance in hell, but rolling commando is the best way to get lucky -- especially with Panty and Stocking! The complete series will be available on DVD July 10, 2012.
