Obama Staff Flummoxed By White House Tech!

Lest anyone think I’m being serious here, I’ll point out that this is a parody of the threads about Biden and Cheney currently in the Pit.

Obama not really the President because he didn't really take the Oath

Just kidding (of course)–and I hope the just kidding and the of course were unecessary. But you just know some numbskull is typing this exact thing on some message board somewhere but he means it and will get tons of support from the other members. In this thread I pit that guy (for all the wankers about to ask “who are we pitting here”).

I don’t want to pit the authors of the OP’s, just that they’re the most recent, obvious examples. Creating a thread on what the “other side” might say, or what they usually say… kinda sets a bad precedent IMO.

Precedent to what?

I thought the term “parody thread” meant only a thread parodying another thread. Also, precedent for what, exactly? Slippery slope arguments are usually pretty stupid (i.e., if X causes bad thing Y, why can’t we just stop Y instead of having to stop X?). Also, you are a jerkface.
