Uh, oh no he probably wouldn't. My fucking god. Incidentally, I think somewhere in here she's taking aim at us: "Humor in the modern age is usually satirical, cynical laughter, whereas the folk humor of the carnivalesque means that the people laughing do not place themselves above the item that is funny. "The carnivalesque is not about making dry, intelligent, witty political criticism." “Bakhtin would probably comment that the carnivalesque is the definition of laughing with rather than laughing at.”

This column is FUCKING unbearable. However, I must thank Ailee for essentially writing the entire Spew section for us. Oh, and if you think we cannot dedicate an entire spew section to one column, then you have clearly not read Ailee's column. Man, I can’t let this go. This column is FUCKING unbearable.
