I hope that with my satire readers who follow my news articles will find it hard to distinguish between already crazy ideas being rolled out and the absurdist stuff I extrapolate from their other visions. I'm trying to frame this stuff as absurdist comedy and darkly humorous, but my regular readers will know that none of this is really that hyperbolic.

I get it. But if we can think of it in jest, some broken mind will try to turn a really absurd idea into reality. Does that make sense?

Yes, I agree. Indeed, I have no doubt that my absurdly dark humour is another man's idea of paradise.
