There is no such thing as height, either.
That post does everything this one does, and more, and does it better.
Maybe I'm just prejudiced against parody, but I really find it hard to think of any scenario where sober fact-based discussion doesn't do a better job. Except for ingroup circlejerks on the ridiculousness of the outgroup, of course.
I think the best parodies show that the arguments they parody prove too much.
