It may well have been parody.......but I thought it was 'real'. So not ALL understand that type of humor, I guess.

He posted parody-lyrics to popular songs, too. Did you think they were the original lyrics? Have you ever read the Onion? Do you think they're reporting the real news?
That's what parody is. You take one part of something already in existence, add a good-sized dollop of silliness, and you have a hot cup of parody. Some is more delicious than others, but it always requires a sense of humor to both produce it and appreciate it. Registered, PJComix and others have used the same recipe for years. (Although I admit, Al Gore might not have thought "Sore-Loserman" was as hilarious as we did....)
I'm betting that the only people who didn't see Fresno's parody for what it was were the people who really, really wanted him gone. Now he is.

In retrospect, FDA regrets any confusion his parody post brought to those not closely following the banter between the VD trial watchers...for that, he apologizes...but...he does not apologize for objecting to the heavy handed/one sided Moderation of threads in the Smokey Back Room...no profanity, racism, violence....better add...jokes at the owner...WOW
