Sad but true.

I'm not sure if I'm hoping people are going to believe this (And thus will provide us with some nice additions to the mailbag.) or if I'm hoping people finally can see the difference between reality and satire.

On the other hand; it's really close to the truth, ofcourse.

Some people wouldn't recognize satire if it walked up to them, introduced itself, invited them over for drinks, had sex with them, got married, and had lots and lots of satirical kids. Or if it walked up to them and hit them in the face.

I guess people want to believe this stuff is true, so they blind themselves to the obvious.

Wow, the RIAA really missed an opportunity to insult its' employees here. A good mission statement should include the employees as well. Certainly, the music industry has thousands of underpaid factory workers. If I were one of these poor souls, I would expect my employer's hatred of me to be reflected in its mission statement and I would feel very neglected right now.

What makes this article so great (and why it will get people to believe it) is that thats exactly how a lot of people see the RIAA now anyways.

But then, thats usually the key point about satire.

Oh there will be believers.

I'd be willing to bet my last dollar that every single article that's been published on this site since its inception has had it's share of believers.

I've learned long ago to never EVER underestimate the gullibility and stupidity of the masses.
