Parodies and Humor about Ayn Rand and Objectivism

:popcorn:

and if you've actually read Rand as Dante has -- it's precious stuff :laugh2:

Thanks for admitting you can't explain what's wrong with Ayn Rand's work. All you can do is post links to infantile hacks who make-up things she never said. It's eerily similar to the the attacks morons like you make on Sarah Palin.

"Who is John Goat?"
Dallas turned away from the window and looked at the man in the seat beside her. He had got on at one of the stops outside New York City but she had not noticed him before now. He had a bald head that seemed to rest like an unused bowling ball atop a pillow of fat that had once been a neck. His eyes were pale and lifeless.

"Pardon me?"

"Who is John Goat?""I don't know. Besides, those words are just meaningless nonsense."

The man nodded dully. His nod seemed to reject the possibility of objective knowledge. Dallas turned back to the window and gazed out on the vast blank prairies. A lighted billboard flickered and her heart trembled with joy. She remember her thrill when, long ago, she first heard a radio commercial. Her brother had told her that bird songs were prettier but Francisco had laughed and said, "When I grow up I will make birds out of copper and sell them for money!" And the next day he had presented her with his first copper bird made from metal he had mined with his own hands.

"Does it know any songs," she had asked.

"Only radio commercials."And, then, they had made love.

"Pardon me Miss." It was the bald man.

"Yes."

"My name is Waldo Mudge. What's yours?""Stank. Dallas Stank."

"Stank! The same Stank who runs the railroad?""Yes!" Dallas proudly threw back her head.

"You loathsome capitalist, I hate you! I abhor you! Don't look at me that way; you have no right! I give all my blood to the poor! Organs, too, when I have the chance. All I have left are three ribs and a testicle. Stop looking at me like that! I live for others, for love...something YOU would never understand!" He sneered hysterically.

"You're right, I wouldn't," she said.

She turned back to the window. Suddenly, she felt a rush of air go past her head. She turned around and gasped. Waldo Mudge had deflated.​

Apparently you believe quoting someone who is ridiculing Ayn Rand is a valid example of her work. Just as I stated previously, none of Rand's attackers can quote her work and explain what's wrong with it.
Ahh, so you failed in looking up: caricature

now try looking up: parody

As usual, Dante has no actual facts or logic. He only has infantile personal attacks.

Hmm, the infantile mind knows not what it is saying: compare Ayn Rand and Sarah Palin

I doubt anyone could have so easily insulted both Ayn Rand and Sarah Palin as bripat9643 has so wonderfully done

:clap2:

Dante needs to look up "moron" and "mentally ill."
 
Dante has looked up 'moron' and the photo caption was:

Dante has stated before:
developmentally stunted psyches will always see some genius in cartoonish caricatures put forth by the likes of :cuckoo: Ayn Rand

Again demonstrating that you've not read the material and are merely flinging shit from a partisan perspective.

literary criticism as well as intellectual criticism of Rand has been around since the first days of her imbecilic publishing

:popcorn:

Again...... We realize that the left is comprised of mindless drones who seek parody written by others to fill in the gaps of their intellect. So well you demonstrate that here...
 
are you saying it's all "a partisan perspective"????


:lol:

:cuckoo:

I am saying that criticism of every word put to paper exists. That criticism and parody of the writings of Rand exist does not make the point you wish it to make, not beyond the Pillowbite level of intellect, at any rate.

Oh, and I believe that Brian is right on the nose, the major criticism I have of "Atlas" is that the characters are indeed caricatures. Unlike you, I recognize that this was intentional on the part of Rand.
 
even an admirer of Rand's nonsense has qualitative praise:

As a fictional character, John Galt isn’t burdened with forming a plan of action to address the realities that define the non-fiction world we live in (as a creation of Rand’s imagination, he also wasn’t burdened with the realities of 1957). Speculating on his views is nothing more than a Rorschach of our own conflicted and ambivalent, economic views. Would John Galt be more disturbed by the plethora of governmental regulations, or the government’s bailout of too-big-to fail institutions? Would he have greater disdain for the “Occupy Wall Street movement, or the “moochers” who “earned” huge bonuses shortly after their banks were bailed out? I also suspect that, for both different and similar reasons, he would have very little respect for the realities and stark compromises within both US political parties.

dufus, the illiterates who struggle with Rand's writings are the ones assuming the caricatures are more than that -- caricatures. Like you they have attacked parody as purely a partisan issues. It's all very amusing.

Most rational and sane people would never hold on to a Randian view of the world as being desirable or utopian. It is angry, hateful, cruel and just plain crazy.

Again, that you believe "Atlas" unique in that it has criticism is truly amusing.

{One might argue that Gatsby is "a relatively early modern American novel and only seems jejune in retrospect," Jason said. However, "given that Ulysses was published three years earlier, Gatsby is inexcusable." Ouch. }

What I find amusing is your jejune insistence that parody is legitimate criticism, and indeed indicates failure on the part of the subject.

Lord of the Rings Parody

Generally, parody indicates the success of a work.

Most rational and sane people would never hold on to a Randian view of the world as being desirable or utopian. It is angry, hateful, cruel and just plain crazy.

Because KOS says so? What is hateful or cruel about it?
