I personally don't mind the satire at all, after all JJ is just a fictious story, whoever said that it had to be realistic. Ignore use of ridicule, ignore use of irony. Lately, I've been getting the urge to draw a TFC comic strip. Tor, we need to get the boss to the car. I know that the HWG isn't quite as simplistic, but I think we all like to think of him as the big spamming lug that all the newbies pick.
Satire is funny.
C'mon, I don't think any of us can actually say they've never told a joke that involved some kind of American stereotype of another nationality. Stupid people are always fun to joke about. That's why I print idiot mail. Anyway, obviously there are going to be a lot of people who just can't see that it's a joke, so there's no harm in a good disclaimer at the top of the page. Yeah, I myself am in favor of a disclaimer as a part of the header for the feature.
