Poe's Law/Quotes: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''There are a number of spoof sites on religion (and it's a measure of what's at the bottom of the barrel on the religious side that it can be hard to tell the spoofs from the real deal). There is, for example, The Society of Christians for the Restoration of Old Testament Morality (sorry if I blew your cover) or Landover Baptist Church (much easier to identify as a spoof, although I have no doubt there are people who miss it). Read their mail page. Read the religious believers praising them for their stance. ''Then read the nonbelievers flaming them.'' Then come back here and tell me with a straight face that nonbelievers are inherently more rational, better informed, and better at critical reasoning than believers.''|'''Steven Dutch''', ''[http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/10DumRel.htm The Dumbest Statements About Religion]''}}

 

 

{{quote|''Most of the themes in my comic strip "[[Dilbert]]" involve workplace situations. I routinely include [[Planet Eris|bizarre and unworldly elements]] such as talking animals, troll-like accountants, and employees turning into dishrags after the life-force has been drained from their bodies. And yet the comment I hear most often is: "That's just like my company."''|'''Scott Adams''', ''The Dilbert Principle''}}

{{quote|"''The problem with irony and satire is the dumb motherfuckers don't get it.''"|'''Ray Wylie Hubbard'''}}

 

 

{{quote|And what I'm doing now, as everyone in this room understands- just in case there's anyone from the Mail On Sunday watching this- is I was using an exaggerated form of the rhetoric and implied values of [[Top Gear]] to satirize the rhetoric and the implied values of Top Gear. And it is a shame to break character to explain that, but hopefully it will save you a long, tedious exchange of emails.|'''[[Stewart Lee]]''' ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0i0RXMvzMs after a rant satirizing the behavior of Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson.]''}}
