Hacker News Reader

I like the intent but it needs more meat and a little bit more of a wind-up - as a joke, it's all punchline.

Yeah, but it's here and part of the conversation, mere hours after the original -- that counts for something. True, it's not sparkling literary parody, but more like a timely snappy comeback. Sites like Twitter and HN make this sort of riposte possible, so now it's one option for making a point.

That's a good point. Quick and thorough response that if not for reading the content looked incredibly like the original. Not difficult to do "technically", but then, I didn't do it so who am I to talk?

That said, a properly placed profanity can add a punch and shock the reader ... that effect is lost when profanity is in virtually every sentence ... and shit.

Ah...

It would have helped if I had known there was original... I'm sure it's "everywhere" but I'd never heard of it...
