Never stop doing that thing in which you project your own bad acts upon
others. No one on Usenet would recognize you if you stopped being that
immature.

Comic writers are flip? Who knew?

So yes?

You are super concerned about all this. You're still participating in
this thread. It's clearly more important to you than anything else
you've done this year.

>>They make me smile. It's funny because they fully commit to the comedy.

Not really. I find you sad, and pathetic.

There's that projection thing again.

No, you are humorless because you utterly lack a sense of humor. As many
others have already pointed out to you, The Onion didn't invent parody.
