Comments: A minor blogstorm occurred with Ingrid found herself embarrassed by her own expose on a Slice parody run by Patrick Lane. He was using a moniker which was an anagram of Ingrid Schlueter (which he was in no way hiding). The parody site, itself was rather crude, and its coarse content detracted from the parody/satire, but was not really any more offensive than its muse. Ingrid, in normal clueless fashion, missing the humor, assumed Patrick had assumed his moniker to ‘hide’ behind the name of a woman. Hilarity ensued.

Julie, at Lone Prairie Art Works, found her blog being ‘lit up’ by google searches for this parody site, and blogged on the subject, giving us a hat-tip in the process. Thanks, Julie!

Memorable Quotes:

So I headed on over to Slice to see what was sending people to Google and dumping them, with great disappointment I’m sure, on my blog. I discovered a post (UPDATE: the link has since been changed) talking about a parody site, a site making fun of Slice. The comments section on that post is worth a read for its own hilarity.* I wasn’t impressed by posting the contact information of the fellow running the parody site with the suggestion of harassment. Not really funny. The parody site wasn’t actually linked to, however, so I found myself doing the same Google search to find it. Here it is: www.sliceolaodicea.com.

Hmmm.

I like a good parody; I’ve seen some good ones of myself in the past. I can’t say I like this parody, though. Parody – satire is a better word, maybe – is like a fine chocolate cake**. If you slam the door on the oven the cake ceases to be beautiful and the middle caves in.
