TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."

I think this line gives the game away:

Quote"We're not playing around here. This is a serious hedge fund, doing serious and big things. This isn't a joke."

They are this generation's The Yes Men, and this is their first big troll.  Think about it: how else could someone manage such a perfect simulation of the financial world, with its youthful cluenessless, its grandiose claims backed up by little capital, its lies about who it knows and its possible illegality?  Even Goldman Sachs does not fit the stereotype perfectly, but they do.  Because they were intended to.

Perhaps an email campaign is in order.  :lol:

Which is worse, that the author of the linked article takes these guys seriously, or that his first reaction isn't along the same lines as yours?

Have we all delved so far up our own assholes that in order to recognize parody, it has to be labeled as parody complete with a "Hi my name is PARODY" sticky name tag?

Fucking POE's Law.....
HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS!

I think it's just that reality outdoes parody each and every day.

I think that what threw the author off is that he wasn't GOING to take it seriously, but then they kept playing it seriously. He was probably expecting them to go "OK, you got us! Hahahaha, we're pretty funny, right?" but they didn't. They stuck to their guns. :lol:

That's why I'm glad I'm a nobody in the grand scheme of things.  Without any professional responsibility, I can just as easily brand things as either parody, or irresponsible fuckwits and move on.

This is true.  And why we need alien overlords to run things for a while.
