Yeah Huh ??? - Poe's Law (Not Edgar Allan)
Poe's Law

Poe's law, named after its author Nathan Poe, is an Internet adage reflecting the fact that without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between sincere extremism and an exaggerated parody of extremism.

4. It's not just the internet. I defy you to parody heavy metal. Or Gothic horror.
