Might have something to do with the fact that the stuff he's reading (which I assume is from the parody article) sounds only slightly more ridiculous than a lot of non-parody evopsych writing that's floating around?

In a parallel universe, D-Dawg here is an English professor, and his talks have all been this kind of nonsense. He's also way more popular, for like, no reason, and rides a unicorn.

Refreshing for idiots to talk about bullshit? That's somehow better than smart people doing it, but hardly refreshing.

What he's reading isn't from the famous parody article, though many of the quotes from famous "thinkers" are also to be found in it. The parody worked chiefly because it was largely a string of quotes from the reality TV stars of the French academy along with their starstruck American counterparts. Idiots one and all. Smart idiots even. :(

Urkel, what exactly are you 1-starring?

Are we sure this is parody?

parody of something that could be easily mistaken for parody and vice versa
