I think you are right - it does belong on a Reddit type site. I find it really frustrating that there is not a hacker news type service but for creative writers. I love startups but I also like to blog but it's hard getting any people to read my content!
You are right though there is more appropriate media out there for these sort of posts but I am just not certain what they are.
I am not sure I can spin it to meet the audience but I have noticed that the Hacker News audience is generally one that is very open minded and also one that likes to be entertained. This 'entertainment' normally comes in the form of startups and all things interent but there are also users who have a sense of humour (such as yourself) who can appreciate the odd, random entertaining post (I hope).
