this is a completely non-factual hit piece. there is literally nothing to see here unless you want
to see every piece of speculative nay-saying about wikileaks reaired from youtube. for instance they
clam that, although no afghans were killed because of wikileaks, as confirmed by the us state
department, some hae been arrested? by whom? the us's afghan allies? thats wierd.
it was a good, old-fashioned self-evidently tongue-in-cheek, sardonic statement. trolls (who i loathe, by the by) never use
humor, they try and come across as serious, thus baiting the rubes, much to their [sometimes mutual] delight. obvious
humor still occasionally gets misinterpreted, but there's nothing we can do about that short of offering a portion of our
paychecks to the public school system. subtle humor, on the other hand, can easily be taken the wrong way by those not
quick on the uptake, although i absolutely love it when it's done well. (my own original "joke" was, sadly, merely obvious,
and a bit ham-fisted, but it gave me a giggle nonetheless.)
imdb is a wonderful place to find real masters of subtle wit and rhetoric, amazingly enough. there's a handful of people
(oddly enough, all men) who delight in finding an innocent, unsuspecting forum and starting a new thread with a maniacally
devious, but oh-so-naive-and-forthright (on the surface) comment that, quite often, leads to mutiple pages of retorts before
you'll finally see someone that got the joke and calls him on it. even crazier, posters still go on with their arguing. i've often
wondered if these guys are really a bunch of college professors doing research. 🙂
