Poe's Law
From RationalWiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Poe's Law relates to fundamentalism, and the difficulty of identifying actual parodies of it. Generally, it suggests that it's hard to tell fake fundamentalism from the real thing, since they both sound equally ridiculous.
The Law states:
“Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing.”
It was originally created by Christianforums.com user Nathan Poe.[2]

Yeah, it's hard to make a parody out of insanity, isn't it?
So is the original, without the words on screen, serious?? As you say, it's hard to tell.
Yes. The original is VERY serious. Stupidity knows no bounds.
HH =I (no smile until 80+ degrees).
