So I was reading 1984 last night...

Isn't satire supposed to be funny?

Haha, not always!


1 : a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn
2 : trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly

See?

It's okay, youngbuck, I could detect the sarcasm in your post a mile away!\

Now I'm going to have to reread the book. We should make a quoting thread, because 1984 is so very eerily spot on.

I didn't use smileys on purpose, just to see how you guys would react. Can't you all tell? It actually surprised me. And no Conza, I was purposely allusive in my satirical attempt.

See, that's better, right?

hahaah

Big brother is a malicious term used to label those who have our best interest in mind, and only want to keep an eye us to protect us from terrorists. Where are you getting these wild ideas from? Why on earth would I even bother reading cliff notes of some far-out conspiracy theory book when I can just watch the news (maybe switch back and forth from CNN and Fox) to better understand the big picture, and what's really going on behind the scenes.

LOL!!! That's hilarious, dude!

I don't know how some other folks missed it, but the satire seemed pretty obvious to me.

Satire or not, the NSA and related shit actuallty makes a majority of people feel all warm and safe and fuzzy. That is to say, a lot of people are as retarded than you pretended to be in real life. Sad.

Yes, there are people WAY more retarded than that... TeenforPaul08, and the rest of the Addendum supporters.

Youngbuck, your attempt surpassed these level of peoples thinking. You actually used punctuation and grammar... that's a big no, no.
