Could have been funnier

Parody is basically an imitation that twists its target to make it funnier and sometimes also to mock and criticize it. For these purposes, parody needs to resemble its target to some extent. This article fails to resemble sjvn's writings and this is why its parody isn't very funny.

The real sjvn doesn't like Windows. The real sjvn also wouldn't install debian on his computers; he prefers mepis, linspire and ubuntu. This is also why his rants about debian are often so misinformed -- all his knowledge about debian is based on rumours, blogs and hearsay. If only this parody article managed to capture the real reason why sjvn doesn't understand debian, it might have been much funnier.
