This is the title of a typical incendiary blog post

This sentence contains a provocative statement that attracts the readers’ attention, but really only has very little to do with the topic of the blog post. This sentence claims to follow logically from the first sentence, though the connection is actually rather tenuous. This sentence claims that very few people are willing to admit the obvious inference of the last two sentences, with an implication that the reader is not one of those very few people. This sentence expresses the unwillingness of the writer to be silenced despite going against the popular wisdom. This sentence is a sort of drum roll, preparing the reader for the shocking truth to be contained in the next sentence.

My favorite line:
This sentence contains a link to an Internet video featuring a cat playing a piano.

Also, there are 20 pages of comments, many in the same vein as the blog entry. THis is one of those rare blog entries that is worth following the link for.

Why don’t you go fishing somewhere else?

It wasn't even *intended* as fishing; why the attitude?

I saw it linked on Instapundit awhile back, and thought it was funny, so I shared it.

Cheers!

Sorry, not mine.

...but it was funny, wasn't it?

Cheers!

It cracked me up when I read it, I wanted FR to see it.

(I first came across it on Instapundit as a hotlink, IIRC.)

Cheers!

Just found the following here on FR, it's even better:

Perfect Parody of a TV News Report...

(Warning: contains an F-bomb and a cartoon decapitation, but otherwise harmless.)

Cheers!
