Besides this Popehat "author" Patrick, who listed Robert Anton Wilson as one of his favorite writers -- "Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea, Illuminatus! More than anything else on this list, Wilson and Shea's satire of conspiracy theory, with a touch of Arthur Clarke, H. P. Lovecraft, and James Joyce, made me the paranoiac that I am today" -- another "author" at Popehat.com is named Angus. His favorite book is Carl Jung's "Answer to Job," which I put up a few weeks ago. Angus was a Celtic God who discovered the fountain of youth. That indicates that at least several of the authors at Popehat.com are of an Illuminati persuasion. Which means the whole lot is, as far as I'm concerned. How else could they get along with each other? These kind of people who admire Robert Anton Wilson and Carl Jung are jealous gods. They fight with everyone who is not their "kin." On Popehat's "About" page, they indicate that this may very well be so by saying: "Naturally, the views of one author do not necessarily reflect the views of any other. Indeed, sometimes acrimonious arguments break out in comments, though these may in fact be fake altercations, staged for our own amusement at the reader's expense." What a bunch of cynical fucks!
I'll bet $100 that these guys are members of the Order of the Golden Dawn. And those guys are real, live nazis.

And here's Ken's FTC disclosure. He has a relationship with the publishing industry, probably Penguin who is suing us. He's probably getting paid by them to do their dirty work against us. Penguin was the leaders of this ebook conspiracy.

The Popehat people are obviously sociopaths along with Matt Inman. |

| Wired Magazine wrote: | DOJ Files Antitrust Suit Against Apple and 5 Publishers Over E-Book Pricing
By Tim Carmody
4.11.12 10:29 AM
Wired Magazine
The U.S. Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit Wednesday against Apple and five major publishers — Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin and Simon & Schuster — alleging collusion in e-book prices and sales models.
At noon Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, acting Assistant Attorney General Sharis A. Pozen and Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen will make an announcement about a “significant antitrust matter” at Justice Department headquarters in Washington, D.C. Jepsen’s predecessor, Richard Blumenthal, was among the first to legally probe e-book prices in 2010, meeting with Apple, Amazon and publishers.
If successful, the lawsuit would effectively eliminate the agency model for e-books as we know it, by prohibiting “any agreement between a Publisher Defendant and an e-book retailer that restricts, limits, or impedes the e-book retailer’s ability to set, alter, or reduce the retail price of any e-book or to offer price or other promotions to encourage consumers to purchase any e-book, or contains a retail price MFN” — that is, a Most Favored Nation provision that prohibits e-books from being sold at any other retailer for a lower price.
According to the suit, filed in the Southern District of New York, the five publishers “feared that lower retail prices for e-books might lead eventually to lower wholesale prices for e-books, lower prices for print books, or other consequences the publishers hoped to avoid.” It also speaks of “deflating hardcover prices” and charges that the “Publisher Defendants were especially concerned that Amazon was well positioned to enter the digital publishing business and thereby supplant publishers as intermediaries between authors and consumers.”
After unilateral efforts to pressure Amazon’s discounting of e-books failed, the publishers “thereafter conspired to raise retail e-book prices and to otherwise limit competition in the sale of e-books. To effectuate their conspiracy, the Publisher Defendants teamed up with Defendant Apple, which shared the same goal of restraining retail price competition in the sale of e-books.”
The lawsuit further alleges that Apple wished to raise the profit margin for e-book retailers above what Amazon and its competitors had been making. This, plus publishers’ desire to maintain higher book prices, led to their simultaneous adoption of the agency model.
The suit states that prior to negotiating with Apple, publishing executives engaged in a series of meetings, telephone calls and other communications where publishers “agreed to act collectively to force up Amazon’s retail prices and thereafter considered and implemented various means to accomplish that goal, including moving under the guise of a joint venture.” It cites e-mails from publishing executives noting the need for joint action: “without a critical mass behind us Amazon won’t ‘negotiate,’ so we need to be more confident of how our fellow publishers will react…” It also charges that publishers sought to destroy evidence and conceal their communications, showing that they were aware of the illicit nature of their activities.
“This change in business model would not have occurred without the conspiracy among the Defendants,” the Justice Department’s suit charges. What’s more, it alleges a direct horizontal conspiracy between the publishers — not only, as had been suggested, a “hub-and-spoke” conspiracy, with Apple acting as the message-bearer between the publishers.
Apple, however, allegedly “kept each Publisher Defendant informed of the status of its negotiations with the other Publisher Defendants … [and] thus knowingly served as a critical conspiracy participant by allowing the Publisher Defendants to signal to one another both (a) which agency terms would comprise an acceptable means of achieving their ultimate goal of raising and stabilizing retail e-book prices, and (b) that they could lock themselves into this particular means of collectively achieving that goal by all signing their Apple Agency Agreement.”
The Justice Department asks the court for “injunctive relief to prevent further injury to consumers in the United States” — potentially preventing the publishers from selling e-books through Apple’s e-bookstores as well as other retail outlets whose agreements with publishers are tainted by the alleged conspiracy.

SMISH: Social Media-Induced Self Hate
by Charles Carreon
A new mental disease for the Internet age is proposed for inclusion in the Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders: Social Media-Induced Self-Hate ("SMISH"). This proposal stems from the writer’s inquiry into a closely-related disorder, dubbed SMIDS for Social Media-Induced Delusional Disorder, and explores the likelihood that both SMISH and SMIDS may simultaneously afflict one individual, with one disorder or the other gaining the upper hand due primarily to the nature of the sufferer’s interactions with Social Media.
The primary subjective characteristics of SMISH are a sense of insecurity and compulsive reinforcement-seeking behavior through Social Media. Secondary characteristics are a fear of judgment by Social Media Peers (“SMPeers”) and compulsive propitiatory behavior intended to head off judgment and establish trust-links that will protect the SMISH-sufferer from becoming an Object of Hatred among their SMPeers. A tertiary characteristic is total involvement with the Social Media world and a corollary loss of interest in relationships with Real World Peers aside from interactions within the Social Media world. At that point, SMISH has ensnared the sufferer in a cycle of addictive behavior from which they will likely exit only after a period of serious self-assessment, or an intervention by concerned friends and relations.
The objective indications of SMISH usually manifest sequentially and in conjunction with the emergence of the subjective characteristics outlined above. Victims generally progress from incipient SMISH, characterized by an inclination to overvalue SMPeers and devalue Non-Social Media relationships, to acute SMISH, characterized by increasingly compulsive abuse of Social Media, to the third level of true addictive behavior, characterized by frenzied posting and craven toadying to SMPeer authority-figures. The disease often takes hold in an acute form over the course of a few evenings, and progress to a chronic condition over a period of weeks.
SMISH does not require any particular type of host subject to become established, and the notion that only certain types are predisposed should be rejected at the outset. Narcissistic personalities might seem less inclined to SMISH than insecure types; however, the desire to gain mass approval of SMPeers appears to reveal hidden faults in even robust personalities, that, like gullies that turn to ravines overnight in a torrential flood, become deep fissures, exposing the raw heart of a painfully-suffering ego.
SMISH can produce consequences that seem merely pathetic, as when one sees a young girl posting compliments in praise of aggressive male personalities in hopes of receiving a word of approval. For youthful sufferers of this stripe, moderate treatment modalities, including redirection of the individual toward non-Social Media relationships and relationship counseling, may be entirely adequate. However, SMISH can evolve in two other identified directions: a suicidal state, or SMIDS.
Suicide due to SMISH is an established phenomenon for which a brief online search will provide sufficient anecdotes to eliminate doubt as to whether SMISH can be fatal. What is essential is that caregivers realize that once suicidal ideation has taken hold of a SMISH-sufferer, the condition cannot be dismissed as merely an Internet neurosis. Treatment for SMISH-induced suicidal ideation must be as radical as the condition, with the understanding that the stakes are life and death. The sufferer’s use of Social Media must be terminated immediately, all communication with or about SMPeers must cease, and an intensive program of self-approval must be put in place. Physical exercise, outdoor recreation, and non-reflective outward-oriented activities should supplant the previous introverted, obsessive attachment to Social Media. Such an aggressive course of therapy may well produce dramatic results in a short period of time if the disease is caught before it progresses too far.
The evolution of SMISH into SMIDS is far more insidious, however, because SMIDS-sufferers outwardly direct their pain towards the Objects of Hatred who are their chosen online prey. Like road-rage on the streets and highways, SMIDS creates hazards for other individuals of which society must be mindful. Since a separate discussion of SMIDS has already been published, we will not repeat that analysis here, and rather discuss briefly why SMISH has the potential to co-exist with or turn into SMIDS.
Simply put, SMISH is at bottom fueled by the fear of judgment by SMPeers. Among the community of SMPeers, dominant, aggressive personalities skilled in ad hominem argument and the use of pointed invective rule the roost. SMISH-sufferers are often passive personalities who lack verbal combat skills. Although initially attracted to Social Media because many of their Real World Peers are interacting online, as they learn to deploy propitiatory tactics such as shilling and toadying for their more aggressive SMPeers, they are seduced by the online environment and become addicted to its self-abasing rituals. Nevertheless, over time, they find themselves both immersed in self-hate at having sold their integrity for an impermanent sense of personal safety, and walking on eggshells, experiencing profound anxiety about the possibility of becoming an object of online derision, or most fearfully, an actual Object of Hatred ("ObHat").
Many SMISH-sufferers adapt to their passive role online, and master the craven postures of appeasement seen on so many blogs and bulletin boards, where covens of SMISH-sufferers gather around dominant SMPeers in fulsome displays of unwholesome adulation. Many SMISH-sufferers alternate between SMISH and SMIDS on an occasional basis, joining occasionally with Social Media Mobs to hurl Cybercurses at various ObHats, thereby demonstrating their loyalty to dominant SMPeers, and ensuring themselves against becoming an ObHat themselves. Although not being entirely committed to the aggressive conduct, they nevertheless engage in it convincingly, much like an ordinary citizen who finds herself caught in a momentary mob hysteria, then later thinks better of it. Finally, some SMISH-sufferers “ripen” into the pure aggressive neurosis of SMIDS, as they discover that the only way to feel “safe” in a toxic Social Media environment is with a verbal rock in their hand, ready to give as good as they get. They have contacted their inner brownshirt, and civil society has gained a new enemy. For further discussion of SMIDS, see the related article.

S.M.I.D.S.: SOCIAL MEDIA-INDUCED DELUSIONAL SYNDROME
by Charles Carreon
A new mental disease for the Internet age is proposed for inclusion in the Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders: Social Media-Induced Delusional Syndrome (“SMIDS”). While tentative in its observations, this proposal has a legitimate basis in anecdotal evidence, and discusses the risks of attempting treatment of SMIDS-sufferers.
The primary subjective characteristic of SMIDS is the sensation of power gained from being part of a large, anonymous group of social media participants. By “anonymous,” we do not mean that a person who declares their identity cannot be suffering from SMIDS; rather, we mean that due to the large number of people joined in a Social Media Mob (“SMob”), each individual experiences the safety of relative anonymity. By “the safety of relative anonymity,” we mean the sense of security derived from the knowledge that there are so many participants in a SMob that it’s highly unlikely any one of them will suffer negative consequences due to their conduct.
The primary objective characteristic is the tendency to focus on an object of hatred (the “ObHat”), which intensifies as the number of SMob-participants grows, manifesting in antisocial cyber-behavior. Like members of a street mob who ordinarily manifest no criminal characteristics, yet become capable of flinging bricks and mortar and engaging in random violence when gathered in large numbers, members of a SMob may engage in behavior atypical of their usual behavior patterns. Such behaviors may range from online postings of sadistic wishes that the ObHat should suffer misfortune such as career failure and painful death, sending hate mails bearing similar ill-wishes to the ObHat, sending physical packets of disgusting materials such as offal to the Obhat, and directing Denial of Service Attacks towards websites associated with the ObHat.
The delusory character of the sense of power experienced by the SMIDS-sufferer can be easily discerned, and has tautalogical roots. In point of fact, the ObHat is unlikely to suffer anything like the severe sentences pronounced upon her by the Smob, unless of course the ObHat falls victim to Social Media-Induced Self Hate (“SMISH”). The massed expression of ill wishes by a SMob is thus similar to the effects of primitive curses among the aborigines — dangerous if taken at face value, survivable otherwise. Hence, the expression of ill wishes by SMIDS-sufferers are referred to as Cybercurses.
Common battle cries flying from the spittle-flecked lips of SMIDS-sufferers are “we are the Internet,” and “Google never forgets.” Such cri de couer reveal the roots of the delusion. The roots of the power delusion lie in the SMIDS-sufferer’s fear that in fact, he is powerless. The roots of the corollary delusion that the SMob can destroy the object of hatred by the objective force of massed Cybercurses are an attempt to curb the anxious feeling that participating in Social Media is in fact meaningless.
For ObHats victimized by SMIDS-deluded SMobs, the experience can be painful and shocking; however, unless the ObHat decays into SMISH, their suffering is transient and non-pathological. The same cannot be said for all those who suffer from SMIDS. Although at first, joining in SMob behavior may trigger only transient episodes of acute SMIDS, unnoticed by anyone besides the ObHat and the SMob, like other forms of Social Media dysfunctions, an addictive cycle often forms that leads to chronic SMIDS, with pathological characteristics that beg for treatment.
At present, the occurrence of Social Media induced dysfunctions is in its infancy, and the only known treatment modalities appear to be removal of the initiating stimulus, i.e., turning off the Internet. However, for persons who have come to believe that they “are the Internet,” turning off the Internet would be the equivalent of suicide, and thus unthinkable. Were any outsider to attempt to forcibly remove them from the Internet, the chronic SMIDS-sufferer would likely react with violent rejection and excuse-making behavior. Excuse-making would generally take the form of self-righteous expressions that the SMob merely wants to make a better world, and that the ObHat du jour is a genuine danger to the welfare of all.
For those in the helping professions dealing with SMIDS, and for human resources professionals who encounter SMIDS in the workplace, the first avenue of approach should be indirect. The serious danger, of course, is that anyone who confronts a SMIDS-sufferer with their conduct may find themselves turned into an ObHat, with all of the risky consequences associated therewith. A manager confronting a SMIDS-sufferer about lost productivity in their employment might wake up to find themselves the focus of a plethora of SMob attacks: fake Twitter accounts proclaiming that the ObHat must now disclose that they are transsexual, bogus Facebook pages embracing extremist ideologies, and an email box with new messages proclaiming things like: “Welcome to the Jihad, and Peace be upon you brother. Thank you for signing up for our Peshawar-based online training program in anti-drone warfare.”

Good! It looks like you've all gone the fuck away!
I knew you wouldn't be able to stand the honest feedback.
Just too painful, isn't it?
Knowing that you cause other people pain?
You voyeurs of pain.
Do you want to hear me HOWL?
Imagine it then: I am screaming bloody murder at you from the top of my voice.
If I could, I'd round you all up and start playing with you.
Nazis-for-Peace style.
I'm surprised you never mentioned that aspect of my art.
It's the one I like the most.
Got a real hard, non-violent edge to it.
It starts with a kidnapping.
Then a drugging.
And progresses to indoctrination in Thomas Paine, Lucretius, and Ralph Nader.
And yes, even to Charles Carreon.
One of the better minds of our sad era.
Unfortunately, he's not a woman.
Kenneth Paul White -- I fucking hate you.
You are shit on my list.

You worthless pieces of shit!
You little joiner, you.
You don't have an original bone in your body, you big, fat imitating monkey.
You got to be part of the Illuminati, the big, fat, tough guys.
Why don't you go bribe another reporter to tell lies for you?
With the money you get from taking bribes, of course!
You're not a lawyer, you're a nightmare.
You and your little friend, Marc Randazza Pimp Hand.
Fuck you!
I'd fucking lock you away forever.
Unless you recanted.
But then you'd be lying.
And we'd have to take that into consideration. |

And to all you STUPID, STUPID, STUPID people screaming, "How could Charles try and stop a charity fundraiser? That is so fuckin' evil!" -- educate yourselves about charity fraud here:
http://www.naderlibrary.com/matthewinman.charityfraud.htm
Over 200 billion dollars in 2010 going to charities and their scam artists, most of it NEVER getting to the intended recipients. The biggest charities in the world are involved. The American Cancer Society doesn't qualify as a worthwhile recipient of your charitable dollars by the FTC's guidelines, because they don't monitor their fundraisers. Red Cross stole most of the money that came to it for the Hurricane Katrina victims. Half of the veterans charities were given an "F" by the American Institute of Philanthropy in 2011.
IN EVERY CATEGORY OF CONCERN IN ALL THE MAJOR CHARITABLE GIVING GUIDELINES, MATT INMAN FAILS AS A SUITABLE CANDIDATE FOR RECEIVING AND DISTRIBUTING CHARITABLE FUNDS.
If you want to continue being fucking idiots about charitable fraud, that's your business, but don't claim that you're right, because, what you're really doing, is working for the bad guys, trying to convince people that it's OKAY to give to scam artists like Matt Inman. You're throwing your lot in with the charitable fraudmen. Volunteering your services to teach people to be STUPID, and throw their money away as if they were gambling in Las Vegas when they gave to charity, to benefit the kind of sleazy people you think ought to be benefited in your moral degradation. You're predating on the gambling crowd, just like Glenn Beck predated on the right-wing Republicans in the Goldline scam. They didn't know what fucking hit them. It was just Glenn Beck, their hero! |

And for the record, you Inman hyenas just demonized -- caricatured -- one of the best lawyers in the world, one of the kindest, sweetest, gentlest, sensitive, poetic, musical, spiritual lawyers in the world. He wouldn't hurt a fly. Which is why he's my mate. Condemning Charles for writing a letter demanding $20,000 is like condemning an organic farmer for driving a tractor. Then writing an elaborate story about how the farmer obviously works for International Harvester, and wants to rape the earth, and kill all the bugs and the bees, and create a monoculture, to destroy the diversity of the planet, and poison the people with pesticides, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, when really, he's one of the non-machine machiners. And you call that "thinking"? You Inman people are the stupidest people I have ever come across. Idiots. Pawns. Children. You're working for The Man, working for The Crackdown, and you think you're working for the hero of the human race who is a sadist, a monster. You couldn't see something for what it really is if it saved your life. Because you've been conditioned your whole life to think bad is good. And even when you rebel, you travel the path of opposition that's been handily laid out for you, leading you to the exact same destination: ERROR. You think the monsters that run our society didn't take into account the psychology of people who want to rebel against the established order, and rid themselves of the danger? Your whole skull and bones death cult is bought and paid for by the Corporations.

We live in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Tucson out of solidarity to our poor brothers and sisters (we bought our house for $170,000), and we own one Prius. We're not by any means rich. We get by month to month like the rest of you. We hardly ever go out to eat, because it's a waste of money. The only thing we ever buy is books and movies. We don't go on vacations. Our biggest monthly bill is our water bill, because we do splurge on watering our little forest. The first thing we did was have a backhoe come out and dig about 25 huge holes in our yard, and plant trees.
What are you going to do with the truth? Ridicule it?
I remember Robert Anton Wilson once said, that the only game that would be more radical than the game he was playing, was to tell the truth.

First Draft: Tearing the Pterodactyl A New Asshole
'
| The Sherpas of Nepal in the Tibetan Cultural Contest, by Robert A. Paul, copyright 1982 by the University of Chicago wrote: | Rudra Who Ate His Mother
The first real story in the Padma-thang-yig, after introductory passages evoking various aspects of the divinity and the cosmos, is that recounting the primordial tale which, in a symbolic way, gives rise to the whole subsequent set of events. It sets up an opposition between a universal force for evil and its adversary, Padma himself.
In an earlier existence, Padma went to a country called "Du-ljongs-mts'ams to make converts. He decided to convert to the Doctrine a certain householder's son and his servant. He himself took the form of a monk named Thub-bka-gzhon-nu, "Invincible Youth." His disciples were Go'u-ku-dkris, "Kau universal misery," the son; and the servant, Brahmadeva. The son, on becoming Padma's disciple, took the religious name Thar-pa-nag-po, "Black Deliverance"; the servant assumed the religious name Ngan-phag, "Evil Pig."
Whereas Evil Pig understood and accepted the master's teaching, Universal Misery, or Black Deliverance, failed to see the value of a doctrine which preaches the vanity of this world and nonattachment to all things. He therefore banished his teacher and entered upon dissolute ways; he seduced nuns, ate corpses, dressed in animal skins, and, in the form of an ox, led his fellow animals into rapacious practices.
Upon his death he underwent a great number of rebirths in various noxious forms, such as a black jackal, a bee with a painful sting, a worm, and so on. Finally he was born as the son of a courtesan in Sri Lanka, fathered by three fierce spirits of the evening, midnight, and dawn respectively. He was born with three heads, six hands, and a horrible aspect. His mother died nine months after his birth, and the people, fearing this bastard of fatal augury, threw him into a charnel ditch, home of the poisonous snakes of hate, the pig of error, and the cock of desire.
For seven days he kept himself alive by sucking pus from the breast of his mother's corpse. Then for a week he sucked her blood, then ate the breast itself for a week, then the viscera, then the flesh of her buttocks, then the marrow of her bones, the rotten spinal fluid, and the brains. Having grown big in forty-two days in this grisly way, he took the skin of his mother's corpse for his tunic and the skull for his libation cup.
This monster now proceeds to become a source of all evil and terror; he destroys and eats wild beasts, his body exudes every manner of illness, and so on. At the head of an ever-growing army of malignant forces he threatens to conquer the whole world, under the cognomen Rudra-who-ate-his-mother. His army scores victory after victory, until the high gods fear for the worst, seeing that:
If Rudra is not conquered by the power of the Buddha,
The Buddhist doctrine will not flourish, and he, rolling his body to damnation,
With detestable works,
Will experience the weapons of Hell's tormentors (Toussaint, 1933, 3 .
Knowing with divine omniscience the way in which Rudra can be successfully challenged, the gods give the assignment to Invincible Youth and Evil Pig. Receiving the benediction of Pawa Cherenzi and Tara, master and disciple respectively assume the guises of a Form-of-a-horse and Form-of-a-pig. They manifest themselves in Malaya, and challenge Rudra by performing nine impetuous dances. He responds with boasts and threats of his own, and the battle is joined.
Then Form-of-a-horse (Sanskrit Hayagriva, Tibetan rTa-mgrin] penetrated by the lower gate of Deliverance [Rudra]
And Rudra, crushed by the head of the horse which stood erect
Stretched out his arms and legs.
At ease and in rich attire,
The horse's head, tinted with a variegated humor, became green.
Form-of-a-pig slid himself into the little bhaga (vulva) and lifted it with his head.
The head of the pig, tinted with a grease bath, became black.
The faces of the horse, and pig embracing, their impurities thick, augmented (ibid. 39)
His distended body in intolerable heat, Rudra cries out in distress, "Father, Mother, Huyu!" In this rather extraordinary manner, Rudra is overcome and converted to the service of the Doctrine. Despite his temporary conversion, however, he remains the symbol of the enemy of Buddhism, with whom Padma must continually do battle.
David-Neel and Yongden (1959) recount a version of this story which is the same in most respects, but includes a certain detail which is particularly interesting from my point of view. This is that, at the height of his powers, Rudra became the lover of the cannibal queen of Sri Lanka. But the avatar of Padma, in order to subdue Rudra, secretly seduced this cannibal queen and sired a son by her.
Physically he [the son] exactly resembled Matamrudra [Rudra who ate his mother], his supposed father, but it was the spirit of Tampatogsken [the equivalent of Invincible Youth in this version] that animated him. In the beginning, the demon did not question the origin of the child and regarded him as his own, but when the latter had grown up and the monster perceived that his so-called son was trying to dethrone him, he suspected the truth (ibid. 27).
In this version, it is the son who looks like Rudra but is really Padma who, along with the good disciple, conquers Rudra. Their method involves a slight variation on the theme:
His former master transformed himself into a horse, entered his body by the orifice of the rectum, and passing through its whole length, came out at the top of the skull. At the same time, Thaiphag [Evil Pig in this version] turned himself into a boar, passed through the monster in the opposite direction, entering at the top of the head and issuing by the rectum (ibid.). |
Strange how this Matt Inman story lines up with all the Rudra symbols. Apparently, a horse tried to rape him when he was 11, at which point he decided horses are pigs. He's got a thing about tearing people's assholes. He fantasizes about a bear eating his mother. He has an out-of-control ego. And he has pissed off some type of Tibetan Buddhist. There's some kind of weird karma here. I'd watch out for these animals if I was you, Matt.

Although originally created to bring joy to the world, it quickly turned into a platform for Matt’s hatred of horses and love of good grammar. Although such comics as “Ten Words You Need To Stop Misspelling,” and “Why We Should Be Eating Horses Instead of Riding Them,” became popular among internerds, Matt did not feel enough people were hearing his message...
[P]ay close attention to how your words will serve you. Never call a bear a teddy unless you’re sure he won’t eat your face.... |
