A hard medical fact!
Parody is such a fine form of comedy don’t you think? The most wonderful author of Lolita, Vlad Nabokov, sure did and once said, “Satire is a lesson, parody a game.” And who don’t want to play a game? The chuckles, the back slaps, the soaring spirits!
It is particularly great because we can laugh laugh laugh while winking at general truths. Donald Trump’s candidacy is a grand parody of American politics, for example, and ADS’s championship run a pitch perfect parody of the World Surf League’s judging criteria. Do you remember the Lunada Bay parody posted by Rory Parker just days ago? Of course you do! You loved the way it lampooned the aggressive/weird/silly brand of localism festering just outside of Los Angeles.
Apparently readers of all-inclusive mountain/beach website The Inertia did not love it though, nor did they understand it at all. They took it completely seriously and raged against the terrible form portrayed.
“Real tough standing on a cliff so this loser can run away to his mommy before these two guys busy him up. What a punk. I’m 6’4″ 230. Try me assholes.”
“This is rediculous hes lucky a real man doesnt come by and shut his mouth !”
“It’s KOOKS not COOKS …you kook.” (Because the title of the piece was COOKS GO HOME)
“Without cooks we’d all starve.”
Inertia I am glad you have the anti localism attitude as well. We are all locals to the Earth!!!!”
Etc. You must do yourself a great favor and read the rest of the comments here!
Oh how funny! But also begs the question…does reading The Inertia regularly cause dementia or other major neurological malfunctions?
…beachwhat?! fuck, i thought I was on stab…
see?! nice evolving into ditching the caps… keep that m.o., you doing great…
Who cares , surfers are morons, if they can’t understand this..man, that’s very sad
go there, read & learn how…
I think the difference is that Fox tries to maintain some legitimacy so they mix some actual facts in. The post is pretty much pure editorial.
You have a source for that assertion?
asking for Rory.
True, but the Post way more so.
That is an insult to Fox News.

Yeah fuck this shit *garble bargle*
Chas wears pretentious well.
Young Oregonian Chas couldn’t afford a 5/4, so he put on a couple of his cousins’ old 3/2’s.
Yes, you live in a body that has many parts. You also live in a mind that focuses on different parts of that body at different times, like when one part is hurting. You also live in a heart that identifies with many different things, like your body when you’re awake, your thoughts, “your team”, or your surfboard. And by the way, what is this “you” that inhabits these other things the way adolescent Chas inhabits his wetsuits?
I think it was kukai, means shit or something in Hawaiian.
So the union leadership sees it’s membership as a threat…that’s pretty scary. Which only proves the point that they have a lot more to lose than the average worker. Sort of the same way people in government clamor for more government…they are trying to protect their own self-interest.
Which, of course, is fair enough but the least they can do is be honest about it. This sham where they claim to care about the rank and file or the way elected official claim to care about their constituents is pathetic.
The Spelling Police have arrived! Thanks, dude…that was the debate winner right there.
I have absolutely, positively, no ignorance of socialism. I understand Central Planning…do you? I understand from each according to his ability to each according to his need. You want to associate civics with a Totalatarian form of gov’t. You realize that Animal Farm was satire and not a “how-to guide,” right?
what a silly…. there is a difference between a communism and social democratic policy although as a victim of a entirely deficient education system nothing else can be expected
The difference is marketing…Communism is bad but somehow Democratic Socialism is good. You realize that Communist East Germany called itself the German Democratic Republic, right?Anyway…Both systems are complete failures but yet somehow “enlightened thinkers” such as yourself who went to superior, group-think institutes of higher learning and conciousness continue to insists that they aren’t. What’s your battle cry these days…”Socialism really works but no one has done it correctly yet.” I’m sure all of those people in Venezuela could tell you that it’s a failure, couldn’t they? Even Hillary Clinton can’t tell you the difference between a Socialist and a Democrat but hey, continue to be brainwashed and let Central Planning make all of your decisions for you.
sorry for the late reply…. Keyensianism is a fundamentally socialist economic theory ….. yet it got the American economy out of the great depression
Along with lower taxes keeping more money in the hands of consumers. Planned economies are a long way from gov’t intervention in times of recession or other large scale disruption. The problem has become that politicians and their cronies want higher gov’t spending AND higher taxes to pay for it. At least in WWII we had tangible goods produced with our tax money…now we get ridiculous programs that produce nothing of any value and exist purely as patronage to big political donors.
Which reminds me…since you failed to acknowledge Hillary’s horrible record of graft I guess I hit a nerve. Anyway…I’m not a Trump guy either but he is a lot of fun to watch.
idiocy is no fun at all…
I’m plenty grown up enough to know that altruistic ideas (public schools, social security) have become cesspools of corruption, patronage and control. You consider to insist that nameless, faceless gov’t functionaries have our best interests in mind. They don’t. They want jobs so that they can pay their bills…just like me. Did you follow any of the teacher’s strike in Chicago? I did. It wasn’t that hard to see that the union only cared about itself and it’s membership. Want to get your kid out of a failing public school and into a Charter School? You’re evel for even suggesting such a thing. Please get out of your government constructed cocoon and see why government has become the problem and not the solver of problems.
Ask Jimbo Pelligrino about his stubbed toe after his infamous ride.
Of course it’s all in the mind.
Quuk.
You mean cook.
You are absolutely right about us not being separate from Nature. But all people actually EXPERIENCE is their own fuckin minds. And goddamn, isn’t it powerful to have the experience, with a set bearing down on you or whatever, that your mind makes no difference whatsoever? It always was for me. But yeah, a stupid motherfucker is going to be just as stupid sitting at the feet of the Dalai Lama.
I’m assuming you are applying that same logic to Hillary, right? And while Bernie is the only truly honest guy in this race his brand of Socialism is still Socialism….and that means facism and totalitarianism.
Too many cooks spoil the froth.
