Why do we abbreviate crap so strangely? Like pounds for example. Why is it abbreviated "lbs"? Because people are crazy! Obviously! That is the only logical explanation. Couldn't be anything else. And ounces too! What's up with that crap!? "Oz."!? Who came up with that? Were they drunk or something? Maybe they were all on crack! Yes, only someone under the influence of DRUGS could have come up with that! It had to have been the drugs! Or the rap music! Or....or....ah screw it, I can't do it anymore.
What is it with people not being able to grasp sarcasm? Or any kind of stealth parody at all? For example, have you ever met those people that really think Stephen Colbert is a conservative? Doesn't that just blow your mind? And if so, doesn't that sort of show what kind of view they have of themselves? Of course, the irony would probably be a bit too subtle for them.
How about the guys that take South Park's word as law? Haven't these people ever heard of satire? Or comedy in general? Or, I dunno, fiction? It's kind of interesting really. While South Park does often use it's plot to deliver morals about things, it's usually done in an incredibly silly way, and it's all sort of tongue-in-cheek. And yet people miss it. How?
Basically what I'm saying is, for those of you who can't grip satire, let me kindly show you the door. It's that big red X in the top-right. Or the top left, if you're a Mac user. Oh look, I just totally broke the flow of a joke. Go me.
