Poe, or no?
|
We need a repository of satire and not-satire. Kind of a practical demonstration of Poe's Law.
I stumbled across this. Is my daughter a prostitute? 15 early warning signs (from Christwire.org) Even in my not-exactly-sober state, this is obvious satire. Right? I mean it has to be.  
The shoes should have had gold fish in them!
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Min beat me to it. That whole site is satire.
I remember looking once for information on Bill Murray because for some reason I wanted to know where he stands politically. The first link I stumbled upon was christwire.org and the article in question was so over the top that I began searching what they were all about. ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)
Nice touch to specify 15 signs, as if one wouldn't raise an eye brow if it were only 3 signs. Transparent high heels? No problem. Skirts short enough to show panties? Cool. Running off from the dinner table to take personal calls every ten minutes. Whatever. But you know, twelve more signs like that and you might reasonably become concerned.
APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers. Poe, or no?

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
Seems more poetic than prosy. I'm going to go with Poe.
I can never tell and I'm not that original.
There's no earthly way of knowing Which direction they are going... There's no knowing where they're rowing... Or which way the river's flowing... Is it raining, is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing So the danger must be growing... Are the fires of Hell a-glowing? Is the grisly Reaper mowing? Yes! The danger must be growing Cause the rowers keep on rowing And they're certainly not showing Any sign that they are slowing!
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
Most definitely not Poe
And now for a trick question are these Poes? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Poes-Memo...9982012820 http://scmillhills.com/mills/poe/poe-baptist-church/
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
