In 1999, as part of a promotion for The Blair Witch Project, I wrote the text for a website called P.A.R.O.D.Y., which satirized anti-goth sentiments that were then somewhat common. In the intervening years, the site has inspired a steady stream of flames (and a few accolades). Starting in January 2006, I have begun posting them for your reading pleasure. They are unedited except to make them anonymous.

Subject: The Independent might have fallen for P.A.R.O.D.Y.

Another mention of P.A.R.O.D.Y., this time in a British daily national newspaper:

http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/features/article352580.ece

I'm not entirely clear if they're in on the joke or not - one would hope they were, but the tone of the article doesn't offer much evidence of that.

I guess maybe no-one knows what the word parody means any more?
