Do I have to separate you two or are you just going to make out and resolve this unseemly sexual tension?

“[S]elf-parody is a risk we all run.”

Indeed. So, Ted, how’s alienating the alums going for ya?

Note to T: self-parody is a risk we all run. How’s the track jacket these days?

CJ: Quite.

Getting back onto topic, most of the comments made on the Emerald site are passionate. Some of it seems very misguided as well. I mean, c’mon, it’s satire.

People can laugh this stuff off, and by people getting oversensitive about it (like in the comments over at the Emerald), it helps to uphold the idea of political correctness. And that becomes a problem.

Miles: No, no, all a good thread needs to go bad is your input.

CJ: Thermodynamics can suck it.

The second law of thermodynamics seems to hit blog threads especially hard.

And this, everyone, is how a good thread goes bad.

’tis a shame. I was just starting to enjoy the discussion, as well. And I’m surprised that no one got the Animaniacs reference I mentioned earlier.

Note to Miles: You are not Japanese. You are a parody of yourself. Please stop.

Hey, people gotta have a hobby. And Guy…Tenticle porn? I’ll leave that for the hardcore “Ecchi” people that are involved.

I laughed at it. Elon did some great satire with this editorial. I enjoyed it immensely. And yes, I’m an anime fan. But I understand this type of satire. It a funny ha-ha type, rather than a funny ho-ho or a funny uh-oh (a cookie to whomever can get that last reference)

This is my favorite Elon column so far, if for no other reason than it made a bunch of anime nerds really butthurt.

The online posting already has 35 comments underneath its belt. Way to bring in those hits Elon!
