I was just over at the Confession of a Former Conservative blog reading some old entries and stumbled on his parody of an RRR complaining about the Dr. Who television show. I remember this parody when it first came out and I was fooled. The problem is, you cannot easily tell when a parody of an authoritarian is a parody. They can be so over the top that reality is stranger than fiction. Check out the following.

Years ago when I was teaching, to lighten things up, I tried a ridiculous over-the-top parody of the authoritarian teacher like in the scene from the move Pink Floyd - The Wall. The problem was, nobody got it. They thought I was serious.
I've been on other sites like Rapture Ready and read stuff that makes my head spin and figure "this has GOT to be a parody", but I check back of few weeks later and the discussion is still there in all seriousness and the poster is still in good standing and at it again.
