‘The blogosphere says what’ returns
June 25, 2008 at 10:51 am by Andisheh Nouraee in NewsBlogger ATLMalcontent’s “amazingly amazing” parody series, the blogosphere says what, returned this month from a short hibernation.
For those of you unfamiliar with it, the series began as a parody of another local blogger known for expressing his enthusiasm, indignation, and ennui — often within a single sentence.
Since its inception, however, the blogosphere says what’s parody has widened. It’s now a stand-alone parody of the hyper-political correctness, self-pity, and superficiality its author believes mar public discourse within the gay community.
Yesterday’s installment includes a conspiratorial complaint about Atlanta’s upcoming Pride festivities, anger at the late George Carlin, and a heart-warming announcement:
I have someone new and special in my life, Xander. He used to be Goofy at Disney World but didn’t like the politics of the Disney corporation. He says Time Warner, which owns Six Flags, is more gay-friendly, so he’s hoping to hook on as one of the Looney Tunes characters. He’s also part of the E.Q.U.A.L.I.T.Y. players, a theatrical troupe started by the amazing Harvey Fierstein. By the way, E.Q.U.A.L.I.T.Y stands for: Everyone Qualifies Under Affirmative Lifestyles Independent of Tyranny … Yentl!

This post makes absolutely ZERO sense. Is that English? Or bloggiespeak?

It is blogspeak.
The paragraph I quote above is a blog parody. If you haven’t encountered the original, the parody probably makes no sense.

Parody seems to be a difficult concept for some to grasp:
