Completely agree, and it is amazing and clever.

I know Francis might think Animal Farm is about animals, but he certainly writes like it is and anyone that follows him is taking the bait. The guy is the definition of a hack. Its a shocker how many folks on here aren't realizing it anymore.

Hack (comedy): Hacks in the comedy world, or writing arena, are all about finding the lowest common denominator to get a laugh, or sell a book. Hacks are hacks because they don’t create work from the heart.

The only thing un-hacky about Francis is him playing the contrarian trope, just asking the questions, playing devils advocate, etc. *Barf* It'd be cool if any of it wasn't just straight from a formula.
