I especially love the “Exhibit B” photo of the masturbator. That guy reminds me of my youth.

No love for the _Chinese Astronauts Eat Puppy Dogs in Space_ article?

The only thing that would be funnier than this site being a parody is if it were real.

Poe’s law in its basic form really doesn’t mean much of anything. I could say “Unicorns are real” and someone out there will believe me.

As for the more advanced form, that parody and extreme fundamentalism are indistinguishable–this site surely breaks that. It’s obviously fake. They actually need to be less extreme to be believable.

Sometimes I wish I had a vajayjay to vajazzle.

Of course not. All they’d have to do have worse spelling and an uglier layout.

You could always pedazzle? Or badazzle.

Pedazzling is not my cup of tea, not to mention it’s illegal. I’m not bad enough to badazzle.

Maybe to someone who is not familiar with fundamentalism, but I don’t think so to someone who, like me, actually kinda understands it. There’s a type of kooky logic to it all. For one, there’s still a bit of tiptoeing you have to do not to offend your base.
