I read two paragraphs and then scanned for the caps and after reading a couple of those I stopped. I didn't find it funny at all, more annoying, lame, and as Bob said juvenile. If he really wants a following then he needs to just write the reviews with some actual humour. There is much more to that condition than outbursts of "bad words" and I've yet to meet anyone with that condition who writes their outbursts down so the whole premise is silly.

This is a very good critique of the concept.

On another note, I think I will refrain from directing my friend to this thread as I had originally thought I would. All of my friends say they like his blog, but maybe they just don't want to hurt his feelings (I still like it, but I hear my friend's voice when I read it and he is a funny guy so it works for me). I think you guys are probably right on this one - I'll leave that for my friend to discover on his own.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Yes that is true. But I've been back peddling ever since.
That was just my way of saying that it isn't funny. Not to mention that people with Tourette's don't write like they have tourettes.

I don't know if it is offensive to people with Tourette's specifically, however, it is offensive to people with intelligence.

All I can say is that I didn't know who Silver was before this week. Now I do.

Writing a review pretending to be Stevie Wonder is funnier

Yeah, remember the other day when I said your posts are of poor quality? This is what I meant.

Unfortunately you can't rate a thread zero stars.

Well I remember two of your posts and this is one of them so I can't say you're all the memorable either.

MY REVIEW ON THE TOURETTE'S PORTION OF THE REVIEW:

Not a very good representaion of Tourette's. I knew a guy with severe tourette's in school, and it is more ticks, groans, convulsions and screams. Also properly formed or coherent phrases aren't typically used. So the following exerpt of:

"DONKEY SHOW DUH DUH DONKEY SHOW VAGINA ######"
donkey show and vagina ###### are two sets of words that could normally be used together.

would be more believable as:

ARRRRRGHH!! Help! paper DONKEY MWAAAHHM GRrrrrrrrrrAAK! VAGINA PRINTER RIBBON!!

The other thing about it that is slightly problematic:

Its not funny. Even Dane Cook thinks it sucks.
