Pity, I missed it. Peoples reactions would've been fun to watch.

On the other note, I agree that he should be raped with explosive pineapples, I would even watch.

 

Wow. I cant believe I missed this thread for so long.Its lawlzy in a not very lawlzy way.

 

If anyone's a proponents of women's rights, it's Bobby Knight. And of course his opinion on the subject was: "I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."

But I'm not sure Knight was saying it with quite as much jest as Petroski here.

Though tsk-tsk for adding two pointless lines to a three+ month necro.

 

I just read this story, A Modest Proposal

I can't believe this person is telling us to eat babies!!! WHAT A SICKO!!! HE SHOULD BE TURNED INTO A BABY AND EATEN!!!

 

Edit: A grave error and my sincerest of apologies, never underestimate the power of underestimation.

 

You didn't catch my satire of people who didn't catch the satire of the CNN article.

This is fucking meta.

edit: hence the over-the-top "he should be turned into a baby and eaten" knee-jerk response.

Raped with a rake? seriously?

edit2: Oh, and if you seriously had to explain that a Jonathan Swift work was satire to somebody then that person is fucking retarded, seriously he's Jonathan fucking Swift.

 

I remember seeing this ages ago.

Wasn't it written by a college student, for a college newspaper, and caused a big uproar?

 

It's been over a month since the last post, This thread is Dead, Please do not Necro.
