I have spent a thousand years wandering in the desert. I've found a record player, a television antenna, and a car battery. I can now hail an intergalactic cab. I don't have enough to pay intergalactic cab fare, but I'm a real fast-talker, so I should be fine.
I leave this forum to you, the children of a wide-area game of solitaire called MYSPACE.
Live, argue, be free.

This is not a forum for
METROsexuals, the "term coined in 1994 (along with the noun, metrosexuality) by British journalist Mark Simpson," according to
Wikipedia, "who used it to refer to an urban male of any sexual orientation who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. He is the fashion-conscious target audience of men's magazines."
Nevertheless, it is, most blithely, a play on that term and concept. IFF you've been invited, THEN we've assumed that this is obvious to you.
If this is NOT the case, however, then you may read the following and meditate on the possibilities:
__________________________________________________
(From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Satire is a literary technique of writing or art which exposes the follies of its subject (for example, individuals, organizations, or states) to ridicule, often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change. In Celtic societies, it was thought a bard's satire could have physical effects, similar to a curse. A satirist is one who satirizes.
Satire is not exclusive to any viewpoint. Parody is a form of humor that imitates another work of art in an exaggerated fashion for comic effect, usually deriding the subject of the parody in the process. Although the techniques of satire and parody often overlap, they are not synonymous. Satires need not be humorous - indeed, they are often tragic - while parodies are almost inevitably humorous. Parodies are imitative by definition, while satires need not be. Humorous satires often base the humor on the juxtaposition between the satire and reality. The main intent of satire is political, social, or moral and not comic. The humor of such a satire tends to be subtle, using irony and deadpan humor liberally.
The burlesque form of satire can also be segregated into two distinct categories: High burlesque, or taking subject matter which is crude in nature and treating it in a lofty style, or low burlesque, taking subject matter traditionally dealt with in an epic or poetic fashion and degrading it."
(In short:
this site is a satirical reflection on and/or exploration of the behavior of effete intellectuals and popular urban cultures. Nevertheless, you are free to take it as seriously as you like. We are here for fun, to laugh at ourselves a bit, perhaps, but not to judge you personally. Relax.)
