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.
