It's a *parody* folks. I would hope that Chris would take that parody with a smile and a "hey, those fuckers!" smile (I assumed he did from this blog entry of his, and Chris' linkage within, but then I read Gretchen's comments over on Scoble's site, so I dunno if he did). The fact is, Chris is in the public eye in many ways, and is subject to parody, and IMO, should be honoured as all hell out anytime it's done, no matter how "brutal" it may seem. Maybe I'm old, but I still remember catching the last vestiges of Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts on reruns on late night TV in the mid 1980s, and they were far more brutal (and personal) than what was written in that parody, but those guys had the ability to laugh along with it. I would hope that Chris laughed along with this parody, and took it for what it was - a charicature of one anonymous person's over-extended impressions of several webloggers. And to be brutally frank, some of the guys parodied (not necessarily Chris) needed the bitch slapping that piece dished out :) Anyway, my 0.02 from the peanut gallery. Yikes. It's a *parody* folks.

I understand where Gretchen was coming from now. It seems that at the link <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/blogparody.htm" rel="nofollow">http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/blogparody.htm</a> you can scroll down and find Chris's name and see why he wrote this for. Man, I am sorry I thought it was a fun post you were writing. I would be really hurt to know someone did this even to me.

Note the very first link in the entry... Um, it doesn't sound like many of you realize that Chris is parodying the “parody” (I use this term very loosely) that someone wrote about him?
