Well, yes. That is how that sort of joke works. It characterizes Finding Nemo as innocently as possible in order to heighten the contrast between it and The Wire.

His finest work, in my opinion. Maybe tied with Alexandra D'Addario.

I have been solidly one-upped.

Agreed with this. It is not at all representative of the rest of his stuff.

The meta-deconstruction angle is the best thing we can hope for at this point, I think.

"We'll put chalk around where the body is. That way we'll know where it was."

My favorite is his "why buy the cow?" bit, which NONE OF YOU HAVE SEEN BECAUSE HE HAS ONLY DONE IT LIVE AND I AM BETTER THAN YOU.

I mean, I said 95% and not 100% for a reason. I think that the complaints about the comic were totally ridiculous. If anything, it highlights the seriousness of rape, because the joke is that the worst things imaginable are happening to the guy and the hero doesn't care because he's already finished the quest. On top…

The PA guys aren't anonymous, though. Say what you will about them (for the record, I think they were 95% in the right on the Dickwolves thing), but they're willing to attach "Mike Krahulik" and "Jerry Holkins" to all their stuff. Unlike, say, most of the Sarkeesian/Quinn trolls.

I vote for mandatory pepper spray in all keyboards. If nothing else it'd make for great movie scenes.

I haven't actively sought it out in years, but I still go to grocery stores.

oh man I just got it

Who's acting surprised? I think people are angry, but "surprise" doesn't even fall into the top 20 reactions on this whole story.

It's technically possible, I guess. I just don't know how you would pull it off as A Guy Who Uses The Internet. And presumably sees the cover of the SI swimsuit issue.

We also have an actual test case: has he looked at Justin Verlander's dick?

The need to correct people over something like that is a clue that you may need to rebalance your empathy/pedantry scales.

I don't see how, as a red-blooded American male, you could possibly not know who Kate Upton is. She's been ubiquitous for the last couple of years.

I've always thought it was an interesting question: whether that horrible shambling misogynist caveman element was always there and just under the surface, or whether the Internet and its accompanying anonymity somehow created/reinforced it (see also: John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory).

It's still weird then, though (albeit not total nonsense), because the third quarter wouldn't be the most intense time for the goalie to be guarding the net. It'd be the fourth quarter. I mean, he pretty clearly meant for it to be hockey, but "period" doesn't scan.

Daly's amazing too, but all of his characters enter similar weird/dark territory that doesn't do it for me as much as PFT's absurdity.
