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: P.A.R.O.D.Y

When i first found this site , i thought for about 15 or so seconds that someone was actually serious. I then looked at the name and thought 'hang on......' , absolutely wonderful sir , i applaud you for your quite incredible sense of humor. Shame that there will be so many idiots out there who will take this far too seriously.
Personally , I'm not a goth , although i identify with the "scene" , so to speak, i do however know quite a few real goths and i believe that they would enjoy this work as much as i have today.
Congratulations
