go_read($this->{review}->{review}->{article}) && form_own_opinion(); By the way, I'd rate your review at a 4/10, since it was too brief and lacked wit.

    ++tadman You are quite right. It definitely lacks wit. My attempt at creating a humorous post by trying to sound serious ended up really sounding serious.
    As for it being too brief, I disagree. Who wants to read a review that is as long as the material being reviewed? Not me!
    Anyway, let this be a guide to future generations as to how not to write a satire of a review of a review of an article!

    Who says that programmers can't work in the Marketing Department?
    Or is that who says that Marketing people can't program?

      Well, you did manage to make me shrug at the title when I scanned the Newest Nodes today, then chuckle as I loaded the node. Above all I was relieved it wasn't really serious, though. For extra effect, it actually should have been as long as the review you were reviewing. :-) Although I wonder what you'd've written to fill up that much space in this case.. Oh well; a half hearted ++ for a well meant but somewhat unlucky effort. :-)

      Makeshifts last the longest.

        Thanks for taking the time to reply. I tried to make it long. I really did but it was a strain on my brain as it is. And it seems that I was really having an off day... Several other posts elsewhere were deemed serious as well. That's life.
