I'm actually tempted to post a story (like mine or Kim's, but one written more as a blog post), as its own thread here, as if it were something we found on the net and were ripping into, to find out if trolls would discover it and call us heartless. Of course I'd mention somewhere in the thread that it was fiction, but the trolls wouldn't read that bit...
That would be fun.

I'll do that one day when I have some time on my hands and let everybody know on the Campfire so they can play along. It will probably be an "article" written by a prestigious doctor or pediatrician they won't even investigate if he has any legitimate credentials, let alone if he even exists. Something along the lines of, "Mothers of Special Needs Children Upset-Renowned Swedish Doctor Blames Mothers for their Condition AND Behavior!" That way, when one of the thousands of cows Googles, "Mothers of special need children", they'll be led STRAIGHT to slaughter. Another funny one might be, "Babies with Trisomy 18 and Down Syndrome Should be Euthanized in the Womb-American Doctor Survey Says"larious

It should be enough to just put a little note on the bottom: "this is parody" or "this is fiction". You know moos are reading-challenged. I was thinking of something like a moo-blog content followed by us all trashing it as if it were a real post, and we were actually responding to it, but I like your idea even better!

So let me get this straight, that bitch of a blogger had the nerve to say that the deceased author would be a 'better' writer if she's a mother? What? Since when is that required to do that?
Basically, she's telling me that I need to be a 'mother' if I'm gonna do the webcomic of elementary kids who are superheros by night instead of the ideas that were based on my childhood and imaginations that I made up when I was a kid. Hasn't this lady ever heard that almost all the authors, comic writers/artists, and directors.got the idea of creating a story that they made up when they were kids? Some of them weren't parents yet their ideas were realized and came out just fine. R.L. Stine got the ideas for Goosebumps series when he and his brother got curious of the attic that their parents forbid to go up there when they were kids, not because he's a dad. Same for Stephen King, Stan Lee, and many others out there.
But according to that moo, those don't count because in order to 'create a story', you need to breed in order to 'understand' things better. Don't use the ideas you made up when you were a kid, be a breeder instead since it makes you 'wiser'. eyes2
