Irony Alert!

A few weeks ago, I linked to Free Republic, a brilliant parody of right-wing message boards so well done, you'd swear it was real.

They've stumbled a little, though, in this thread, in which the delightful "Freepers" heap praise on the most recent Shiavo-themed episode of South Park.

See, for a parody site to work, it has got to be consistent. These people really shouldn't be applauding South Park, should they? Especially since, presumably, real conservatives would be championing Ted Steven's drive to subject cable TV to FCC regulations.

Anyway, it's a good thing that FR is such an over-the-top, obvious joke, otherwise such disconnections would show real schisms in the Republican universe. And we all know that isn't true.
