I've a rough draft in the workers, expect it tomorrow. For the time being, let me just say that I don't think that they work because they just aren't good satire at all, and that it's for this reason I find the fuss kicked up about them ridiculous. They're stupid, and they're pointless, and it's a bloody tragedy that they've become a central flashpoint.
Your thoughts? I'll point you to
