Article Extractions and their Hidden Meanings

Last night I was listening to a radio debate program, featuring one of the scientists whose email correspondences to fellow climatologists had been pirated, and subsequently applied in a most irresponsible way to "prove" global warming is a hoax. This fellow explained that certain factions, not the least of which was pioneered by that jolly mad man Rush Limbaugh, extracted singular words and phrases completely out of context to validate their own hoax on soft-headed listeners of AM radio.

"No," I thought. "That's just too simple minded." Don't people actually question evidence before it becomes fact?

So, I thought I would find a venue to apply this technique, myself. I "stole" several publically available articles from SearchWarp, and sought to find devious patterns by which I could expose their authors' fraudulent claims and hidden agendas. This is what I came up with. The words are theirs. If you do a search and find, you will see for yourself that all the following examples were really printed somewhere in the respective author's article.

I thought I would use material by authors who I believe don't have a major problem with me, personally, and I would hope you understand this is strictly done in the interest of amusement.

I have to start with my own article, because you know I am the most devious and cunning hoaxster of them all:

Try a Little Harder, by Gregory G. Lewis

"I haven't contributed Don't breathe how best to approach little concern not critical errors difficult challenge mediocrity drivel unfortunates"

Analysis? Whatever you want it to be. What would Rush say? I don't know, but I feel sorry for the listeners who believe him.

BCS Selection Show 2009: My Bowl Picks, Matchups and BCS Bowl Surprises, by Edward Rhymes

"Committee decided stingy defense HornedFrogs confuse putrid squeaker offense."

Analysis? The BCS Committee is up to no good, motivated by some foul desire resembling a biology lab experiment gone bad.

A Place Where I Belong, by Brianna Popsickle

"Moved...Cliques busy arms judged fear crazy tears contagious stumbled"

Analysis? Brianna is obviously suffering from the combined effects of lumbago, dyspepsia and halitosis, which cause her to fear getting too close to people on SearchWarp. Don't let her get ahead of you in line at the Chinese buffet.

The Greatest Problem with the Internet is its Greatest Asset, by Connor Davidson

"Anti thesis anonymity persona pretend extort exploit"

Analysis? Need I go on? Connor is definitely plotting something devious. He practically came out and said he's exploiting us for our collective stupidity. Sure, he's well dressed and sounds scientific. But so was the Unabomber, probably, at least once in his life.

Conclusion

You want me to draw conclusions based on gibberish extracted out of context? Sorry bud, you've mistaken me for some other middle aged fat guy.

There, you just "proved" Chinese buffets are either out to kill Americans, or are a fence to get rid of murdered middle aged fat guys!

What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenberg?
 
One's a nazi gas bag and the other's a balloon.

Take the number of people who admit to laughing at your jokes, then multiply that by a factor of one hundred to get a realistic estimate.
