Thanks to Zoe. Yet another online literary critic. John Parker has worked out who’s behind it all.

John Parker wrote:
The myth of any superstition about “Macbeth” is female propaganda, and females have always caused all the troubles in putting on the play. Female school teachers tell their students the theme of “Macbeth” is the danger of excessive ambition. This is female nonsense, of course. The theme of “Macbeth” is the danger of ever listening to any female, especially the fatal folly of any man ever listening to his wife.

Narcissistic females don’t like this theme, naturally, and consider it unrealistic in their delusional vanity. Thus they invented this old wife’s tale about the play being unlucky, in a senseless bid to prevent it from being performed. They didn’t need to waste their energy. Any male over 12 knows better than to listen to any female, whether he’s seen “Macbeth” or not.

I don’t like jumping to conclusions, but it’s probably safe to surmise that ‘gullible’ is in the dictionary and Mrs. Parker wasn’t really working late.

    I’m intruiged how John has done his research. Why is 12 the magic age for such realisation?

  3. on 22 Apr 2010 at 10:58 am Olli

    See, women have lied throughout John’s life. It all began with his mother lying to him, the bitch, saying things to her son like “I love you” and “Don’t be silly, of course I don’t wish I’d drowned you at birth” and “of course you have some redeeming features. I just have to go and leave the room before you ask me what they are.”

    I doubt John’s ever had a girlfriend, never mind a wife.

  5. on 22 Apr 2010 at 11:05 am Petpete

    It’s a sad fact that as Spring is here and John Parker’s thoughts turn to love, he will once again spend the more clement months wondering why no one wants to kiss him and why the warm weather makes his genitals smell a bit more.

    I dread to think what happened to John Parker at the age of 12.

    The theme of “Macbeth” is the danger of ever listening to any female, especially the fatal folly of any man ever listening to his wife. John Parker

    John Parker is a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. His is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

    That’s right John, you tell those bitches. You agreed to ‘have’ and to ‘hold’, right? Nothing about this ‘listening’ bullshit.

    Out of curiosity, does anyone over the age of 12 listen to YOU?

    If this is how he feels about Macbeth, I bet The Taming of the Shrew is hardcore porn for him.

    Shit, I think this Parker bloke has hit a nerve. People are actually responding to what he says, instead of what he is (i.e. a clap-ridden, clit-free killer whale’s cunt. You have to say it out loud for the alliteration to work).

    Can we get back on track, people?

    The Iliad, contrary to what femi-nazi post-modernist muslim-commies think, is a tale of war and slaughter brought about by that slut Helen, who is every single woman ever, and was originally written to serve as warning to future generations.

  30. on 22 Apr 2010 at 2:38 pm Ugly Newt

    everything is in italics

    Every male over the age of 12 knows that you shouldn’t pay attention to anything written in italics. In fact, you shouldn’t pay attention to anything written down at all, unless you saw that the person writing it wasn’t a woman or someone who had once met one – and then he could have told you whatever he had to say directly, instead of wasting time learning to write.

    Anyway, I don’t see any italics. Perhaps your head’s on at an angle?

    I think John’s mum used to make him touch her otter’s pocket.

    Or, she was tragically killed on the way to the theatre for little Johnny’s 12th birthday. An outing he’d been promised for a whole year, but instead, he spent in AE, thanks to his pathetic mother letting him down again and allowing herself to get hit by a mobile library when she failed to look the right way at the junction.

    John Parker may be a weasel’s women-hole, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s right. If you listen to your wife on anything, ever, you will end up becoming the King of Scotland and then you will be stabbed.
    So gents, next time your wife asks to come shopping for curtains, or to take the rubbish out, punch that bitch right in the face. It’s time we stopped pandering to minorities like women.

    Completely off topic, but I couldn’t resist. From the Daily Fail (can u c wat i did thar?) article on a British couple telling a hotel that they didn’t want to be served by any black people.

    At least they were honest. Im my opinion, it is far better the millions back home who pretend to be more accepting of racial and cultural differences! If people could get away with racism, they would!

    Reply, or don’t reply: that is the question:
    Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer

    Or to take arms against their twattish twittering,
    And by opposing end it? Reply: to taunt;
    “Piss off”; and by a taunt to say we end
    The head-ache and the thousand shooting pains
    This blog is heir to; ’tis fucking tempting,

    To taunt: perchance to feed: ay, there’s the rub;
    For to that ego boost what trolls may come
    When we have used up all our penis jokes,
    Must give us pause: there’s the respect
    That makes calamity of blogging life;
    For who’d resist the call of HYS,
    The Racists’ balls, the Tax Bores droning on,
    The moans of Hypocrites, Retired Colonels,
    The Moderation Martyrs and the points
    That poor Slow Readers regularly miss,
    When they so lend themselves to mockery,
    The stupid cunts? who’d disregard E_Nigma,
    And act like no one shat the comment thread,
    But that the dread of escalating conflict,
    The pointless circle-jerk of ridicule
    We all have learned to hate, puzzles the will
    And makes us rather bear the troll we have
    Than risk his screwing up our day e’en more?
    Thus experience makes cowards of us all;
    And thus the cretinous camel’s cock, though coaxing,
    Is sicklied o’er with the syphilis of doubt,
    And SYB replies of pith and moment
    Are crushed by thoughts of “fuck it, what’s the point?”
    And lose the name of action. – Soft you now!
    There’s two more lines in the soliloquy,
