Seen it before, then I read the disclaimer regarding the article.

ED is a mildly funny and extremely offensive troll site. It would be fine if it were an extremely funny and extremely offensive troll site.

I wouldn't be so critical of their funny/offensive ratio if I didn't hear about them all the time.

Anyway, they're supposed to be trolls; responding to them in any way just gives them ammunition. So don't bother.

By the way, I think someone should post an official count of a) how many times this article has been discussed on WP and b) how many times an autism-related ED article has been discussed on WP.

I strongly disagree. I have never found the uncyclopedia article remotely funny, or anything other than disappointing. Talk about taking two potentially rich sources of humor and arriving at destination double plus not even remotely not unfun.

Unfortunately at least some involved in compiling/editing the ED article are bigoted and/or mean-spirited twits, and seemed more intent on being malicious than being funny and creating satire. Although it still needs some work, I do think overall, the ED article is funnier than the Uncyclopedia one.

I can see that humor is all very subjective, but I just cannot see the humor in the Uncyclopedia article. Perhaps it would be more funny if I had more than a passing familiarity with Alec Baldwin?

I didn't even think people were capable of having such messed up ways of thinking, I wanted to laugh, but something seemed like they were semi serious about it... I knew people were ret*d, this just proves it!

if YOU had more similarity w alec baldwin? how do you expect the writers to know what you look like? :S
i loved the baldwin piece btw, he is expressionless :]

i think the ED one lacked humorous quality, it seemed based solely in shock value, using offensive language as much as possible. the uncyclo one actually used clever irony and satire, disguising itself as a serious article.

but as we say in norwegian "opinions are like the ass, theyre split"

Why would you want to, if someone is that messed up, they are going to believe their own BS versus anything anyone tells them. It is best to let them die in their own filth...

What do you mean? My comments do not even include the word similarity. Your comments are confusing.

Is he? Perhaps if I knew more about this aspect it would be funnier to me.

elizabethhensley, you can comment on the ED article's talk page, although I do not expect you'd get any other reaction than outright ridicule in response.
