newspaper article calling metal fans semi-human barbarians is actually a joke on metal fans![views:18012][posts:7]_________________________________ [Dec 15,2004 3:43am - damnose ""] http://www.iconoclast.ca/mainpage.html hahaha the site is fake news. i must admit I was roped in for a while though. I even started to write a response! |

| _________________________________ [Dec 15,2004 7:23am - damnose ""] haha, dude, look at the writing on the scroll: semiotics ebonics intertextuality postmodernism also, another headline: CHEERFUL OSAMA BIN LADEN PAYS TRIBUTE TO TOMMY THOMPSON IN NEW VIDEO don't think it's real... |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 15,2004 11:59am - dreadkill ""] blabbermouth posted that too. i wish they hadn't given that guy's opinion more publicity. it's just going to rile up everyone who looks at blabbermouth and all the dimebag fans on there, as well as other metalheads, are just going to get all up in arms about it and it just isn't necessary. i read half of it and then stopped because i really didn't care what the guy thought. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 15,2004 12:02pm - dreadkill ""] i never actually went to the guy's site. i only read it on blabbermouth |

William Grim (the author of this article) doesn't actually exist; it's just a pseudonym for a satirist. As far as whether or not the opinion pieces are real, they seem a bit too ridiculous but you never know. The logo still doesn't make sense -- a right-wing site would have very little to do with semiotics, ebonics, intertextuality and postmodernism, unless it's making fun of left-wingers who are obsessed with those concepts. a bit of a reach though. but check out other articles by "William Grim" on sites like Broken Newz: Straight Man, Neutered Dog to Wed in Natick, Massachusetts Third Disney Character Tests Positive For HIV etc etc. i'll concede that this is a conservative whack-job site whether it's fake or real, but I still think the joke's on us. |
