This was recently on CNN.com's headline news about John Petroski's rude and indescribley horrid piece of work:

Did anyone else find this lawl worthy?

 

{shrug}

Not particularly. You can just abput bet he's trying to set up an precident for somthing, either that or that he just wrote it for the shock value.

 

Only part that really made me laugh out loud. Most of the time I was shaking my head, wondering if this guy had been investigated for any rape cases in his area.

 

Maybe someone should rape HIM and see if he feels the benefit?

 

With a long, sharp, jagged shard of glass.

 

As satire goes, this wasn't particularly funny. As far as people overreacting to bad satire. . . Well, I haven't LOL'd so hard since well, ever.

If I was a major newspaper editor I wouldn't hire him. Not because he wrote the piece, I could care less what someone writes. . . I wouldn't hire him because the piece sucked.

 

The bad thing is I can't tell if it's just horrible satire or if the guy's just fucked up in the head. I've run into too many people who would probably be serious if they said that.

 

No no... Pineapples work better. Or Explosives.

 

EXPLOSIVE pineapples.

As far as it being satire goes, it is, in a way, good satire if you will. I mean, you just know the entire country is gonna read it no matter what, if only because of the title.

 

I also believe that the guy should be raped. With the pointy end of a rake. Honestly thing wasn't even remotely funny in the least. After seeing the title I would've thought that I would be offended. But nope, nothing here. This was nothing but an idiotic attempt at getting attention.

 

Agreed. I'm not one for pandying to the victim syndrome, but this guy is pathetic in the extreme.

It is juvenile and ignorant, and I hope he ends up on the receiving end of rape.
If this is satire then it fails miserably, and if it's serious then he should get fucking mutilated.

A joke is one thing, but deliberate shock tactic's like this, are disgusting.

I mean as someone who got raped, I can say for certain that it is not fun, nor is it a good way to get laid.

I never asked for the attentions of the guy who attacked me, and I honestly say that for a long time it really messed with my head. Rape shouldn't destroy your life, but it definitely shouldn't be applauded either.

I mean how would this apply to male rape victims then, are men really crying out to try man meat so badly. I sincerely doubt it.

I've got a pretty sick sense of humour, but even this isn't funny.

LOL, He would treat you with love and respect in the hopes of a friendly reach-around. Priceless.

 

That was terrible.... Not only in the fact that it wasn't true at all, but the fact that it was so poorly written. None of his points where anything close to strong and he was just a bad writer. It's quite sad what some people do for attention these days.

 

Poorly written and obviously done for the shock factor. I hate it when idiots try for attention. Its about the same as a five year old child crying on the bus because he didn't get another biscuit. I hate children.

Oh, and its not rape if you shout "Surprise!", then its Surprise Sex!

Aekiel

EDIT: Noticed I went a bit of topic... Oh well.

 

You stole the words from my mouth. This just wasn't even slightly funny. This is shit. This is shit on a stick. He obviously has no talent, and for that he should be raped.

 

I found it to be crude in the least. Not only was it poorly writen, but it was desterbing also. I know a few people who were raped and I do not think the would agree or even find it the least bit funny. Some people are very sick.

 

*eye-twitches*

I sincerely hope that your name is satire, and not an attempt to use the most cliched description of Harry ever to exist in the fandom as your own.

 

I'll second that. If you are a fangirl: expect some "magical experience that benefits society" of your own.

 

I agree, not really well done.

He may be making his point at the end (new editors needing interesting stories), but I don't think it is done well and by far overshadowed by the controversial part.

Stop rape - say yes.
