On jokes that hurt a little too much...

Posted August 30, 2001 7:18 PM.

Depressing but true. Someone spend the time to put together 1 of 101 Dave Eggers Jokes, format them like his memoir was formatted and stick them on the internet. The memoir was wonderful. The jokes are ... not. They're too mean-spirited. Which brings me to the thread on Metafilter which asks if anyone out in the community has been the target of a website parody or attack. The answer, of course, is that everyone has been attacked at one point or another. But that we deal with it. Case in point - still up and running and still secretly upsetting me: Plasticfag.org.
