I see now how this may upset people. But there is no need to apologize. I consider the argument, not the arguer.

Ah, my dear Andrew, that is where you made your mistake...
you assume that I actually wanted this piece to be respectable, which, may I say, was most definitly not my intention.
So, no, as much as you may have thought I was inebriated, I must say that I was not, though a good beer or two right now wouldn't hurt.
Either way, happy thanksgiving everbody

The only way this could be respectable would be if you were drunk when you wrote this.

Oh ha ha, aren't you just so witty?
Anyway, FINALLY, another chapter about those of us you hate. It was still lacking... But hey, it works.
Have a nice day.

Thank you for your opinion gagging angel, but just allow me to suggest this:
next time you feel that a piece isn't worth reviewing, don't review it, because then your review is worth even less of a read. Consider saving the few minutes you wasted writing the review, and spend it with your uptight church grandmother as you never know how much time she may have left.
also, thank you for attempting to insert irony ith your disappointed comment, but overall this review is pointless, thanks anyway

I am not even sure that this is quite deserving of a review. I certainly can't see what the point of posting one would be. Luckily for you, I have no life and am willing to attempt such a pointless task.
There are a couple of sentences that actually come off as humorous, and I applaud you for that, though most of the jokes just fall flat. My uptight church-going grandmother is funnier than this.
Grammar is, at times, atrocious, and one has to tread through reams of nonsensical ranting to find even a hint of legitimate reviewing fun.
You almost fail completely to shed anyone in a bad light. Your words seem to bounce back more on you than on those you wish to ridicule.
'And yes, I know the whole point of his piece was for it not to be taken seriously, and I recognize it as a joke, or as humor, but that doesn’t make it good. All it really does achieve is filling up unused fiction press bandwidth, and providing bored authors and bored readers of this site with something to look at, possibly read, and then reflect upon saying “what a complete waste of time, I am now more bored than I was to begin with.”'
Wow. This phrase certainly rings true for more than the story which you delightfully reviewed (meaning this 'show').
'No! My Anus!' is better than this will ever be.
I thought that you were better than this. I am so very disappointed.

Okay, let's do this thang.
"Now, first off, I definitely would not consider this a war, but simply more of a joke that some people are having trouble swallowing"
Not quite. It's a bit too petty and vindictive to be a joke.
"How to Become a Self-Proclaimed "Know-It-All""
I believe you have to specifically proclaim yourself a know-it-all before being a self-proclaimed know-it-all.
"though I am not sure of his heritage it does not make it right that he categorizes, even out of humor, Mexican’s as drunks"
You misspelled Mexicans-no apostrophe there. As for my heritage, I happen to be Mexican, and I lived there for about ten years. I love everything about Mexico, including the everpresent drunkenness-and I'm not being sarcastic this time.
"Krugman fails to follow through on his promise of"
Now being lazy... that you got me on.
"And yes, I know the whole point of his piece was for it not to be taken seriously, and I recognize it as a joke, or as humor, but that doesn’t make it good."
Correct. This is a true statement. However, you just spent quite a while talking about it as if it was a serious piece. I quite agree that it's a shitty piece of humor, but considering that you're writing about that, you should specify why it's a shitty piece of humor-not why it's a shitty serious work.
Well, this one had a couple of funny moments, and is still considerably better than your second chapter, but it doesn't live up to the promise of your first. I suggest a couple of revisions:
a) Check the spelling and grammar, because the grammar in particular is consistently off from beginning to end.
b) Put a little thought into it-I wrote "No! My Anus!" specifically because it's hard to thoroughly mess it up, in that it's an exercise in stupidity. Yes, it's that sort of humor. Again, it is perfectly possible to make fun of it for being bad, but not the way you did it. By taking it seriously and then hastily backtracking to say nothing at all ("And yes, I know the whole point..."), you look like you couldn't find anything bad to say about it.
Now, if you want some REALLY bad writing to review, check out my rambling about religion. Now that is a piece of shit. The one you angrily fired blanks at here was largely, as I recall, an effort to improve my descriptive writing (a failed effort, but that's not the point).
Oh, is this the kind of review you liked? Because I gave you some damn good advice here.

looks like someones ego is rather inflated...regardless of google my dear Typewriter King, you are far from the most popular author here, perhaps the profile with the most hits, but most definitly not the most popular. However it seems to be like your purchase of Max Krugamn's book is doing you quite well.
Also thank you for pointing that bit out in the Macho Man story, I must have overlooked it, I will have to do my research a tiny bit more carefully next time.

Still rather childish, but at least your review is sounding more like a proper review now, instead of a cheap TV promotion.

I want you to use Google. Type "Fictionpress Profile," then hit the 'I feel lucky' button, and we'll see which writer is bringing the most revenue to this site. Then, try to find yourself.
Once you're finished, you may wish to thank the most popular writer here for keeping this site alive. You see, the more eyeballs there are seeing those ads, the more funds the site has. The most popular writer is paying for your program right now.
Your next assignment is to read the very first Sentence of 'To be a Mexican Macho Man.'That's right.
I also consider Carlos Mencia less than funny, Joshua.
