If it's a vanity post, put the word "vanity" somewhere in the title.

It appears, published on another site. Therefore it's not a vanity post.

If you're writing humor or parody - mention it somewhere either in the title, an introductory paragraph, or somewhere at the end.

I'll draw it in Crayolas next time. Most people would have presumed from the phrase "bodacious tatas" that this was not supposed to be taken entirely seriously. But presumably it needs to be close-captioned for the humour impaired.

Ok, let the healing begin. Here's your complete sentence:

I imposed the politically correct reality unto myself, a reality which is layered with all the “good things” and “right things”, including not saying down at the pub that you fancy a gorgeous woman seated across the room and question the law of gravity in reference to her bodacious tatas.
Lost me at "pub" - not American, not McG. What part of the McG confessional are your riffing off of here?

Also, b-t's - not that unexpected anymore. I heard the term in the mid '80's. It doesn't shock in America. Not quite a part of standard speech, but not a big jolt of humor either.

Quick take - let's talk about parody. McG unleashed a huge unexpected bombshell (boy be gay, most people unaware cause he has wife, kids, and all). Very tough to top by saying you like chicks. I could be missing the point of gothness (are goth's are gay? doubtful from what I've seen), but I don't think so. To parody McG would be to refute all that you (seemingly) stand for. Like - you secretly enjoy polka music instead of goth, for example.

Your sentence is too long (prolix?) with no real punchline. Twist, contrast, complete opposites of what one would expect.
