    Naw, if our plan succeeds, soon every single thread at Wordforge will be "You know what I hate?"

    No no. A parody has a certain level of skill and tact. It serves a purpose to inform through ridicule. For a good example of parody, see Falwell v. Flynt.

    What you see here... doesnt count as parody. It counts as spam at best.

    Bullshit. The humor here is just so subtitle and nuanced, it's probably lost on you.

    As subtitle and nuanced as a can of spiced ham product...

    I hate subtitles! They're too hard to read, what with the shape my eyes are in these days! Subtle stuff though, I love that sort of thing...:?:
