I didn't really get the broken English thing; it seemed to get in the way of the joke. Capturing a typical review's extremely imitable tenor in addition to its substance would have been much funnier - in fact, it's possible to pile on so much stylistic parody that the writing itself becomes hilariously incoherent in the breathless kind of way that this seemed to be aiming for. Mark Prindle isn't writing about Pink there like a caveman; he's boiled a hack's writing style down to its most irritating tics and built an entire review out of them (plus some gimmicks of his own, but they work in the context of his site), while still communicating a discernible, hackish appraisal of the music. This does more or less the opposite, and while I recognize that its more specific (and very astute) points need more direct communication than broad parody, I don't think that it needed to come at the expense of reading like a movie review, which is what it's supposed to be mocking after all. Sorry that this is so late; I've been doing a bad job of keeping up with the front page. Sham bam bamina! fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Jul 18, 2016 |

Fair enough! I really like today's piece. Feels very "classic SA" and is easily my favorite so far.

As much as President Baby has been living up to his name in this thread, he has won me over on the front page. Nothing lazy or clickbaity about any of these past few articles; this one especially seems like an active throwback to that whole early-2000s Seanbaby/I-Mockery/X-Entertainment scene, which I have a real soft spot for.
