This week, the debate over whether or not our stories are true rages on. You'd think it would've stopped a long time ago with the word "satire" in our banner on every single page, but here we are!

---

Wow, this story is total bullshit. - Will

Josh: Nothing gets past you, Will! I hope you're not planning on attending college this semester, because you clearly do not need it.

---

islam is satans dick - Doug who will slay you

Josh: Physically speaking, I'd say Florida is a more likely candidate.

talk about being racist, Josh, calling people 'faggots' and 'biggots'-grow up and get a life, dont talk about racism, when you yourself are in fact, a racist - diana

Josh: I ran a search on "faggot" for the entire EV website, and not once did I use that word in a serious manner. I would also add that calling someone a "biggot" is not being racist, and that saying it is doesn't make any sense, you biggot faggot.

I am curious ow you can produce celebrity trading cards without having to pay royalties to the actual celebs. I have a business idea, and this area concerns me. please respond. thanks much, - Joe Donnelly

Josh: We can do this because The Enduring Vision actually loses money every year, and so no celebrity would want a piece of our royalties. Alternate answer: because we're not selling the cards commercially. Alternate answer two: because the cards are clearly parody.

i know that you do a piece on spam and i just got this one today:

I DID NOT EDIT IT IN ANY WAY - Sara Johnson

Josh: We don't do the spam anymore, mostly because it got kind of old, but this example reminds me of why it was funny in the first place. Thanks!

I read your Lohan and Spears editorial and I am absolutely apalled. Not only did you forget to mention that young girls have the right to be anorexic, you left out Hillary-fucking-Duff!
You can't have a Lohan story without including a comparison to Duff. Any good writer knows that.
Goodness, and for a while there, I thought you were God, but now I know.... now I know. - Woot Master

Josh: Although I do think the story hit on the "right to anorexia" point indirectly, the lack of Hilary Duff is a fucking travesty, you're right. That should've been a no-brainer! In addition to sawing off the last three inches of Michael Less' legs, I am now branding my ass with Hilary Duff's name as a painful reminder to be more aware of pop culture.

I love you. <3
That is all. - Ankh

Josh: Sweet, want to make out?

I Really Really hope Mike Ciara comments on your Gaza Strip article. Really! I can almost imagine what he'd say... but my mind won't fit into a box that small. - pete

Josh: I know, seriously. I check my email every day in hopes that he sent me a new bundle of God's love intermixed with profane descriptions of sexual acts. If you're reading, Mike, my request for you to write us an editorial still stands. If you don't hurry, I'll just do it myself and you won't get any of our precious royalties!

This is the most untrue bullshit I've ever read! - dave

Josh: This sounds so familiar...nah, it can't be. You're the first person to figure out that our stories are not true. Congratulations!
