I hate to say it... but you guys are really demonstrating low levels of sense here.
THIS IS NOT GENUINE!
MAN, this kind of thing lowers my opinion of people in general. The whole thing is a spoof, and one of the funniest damn things I ever read. It is taking the piss out of people that criticise the Matrix and it is MASTERFULLY written, and yet the forums are full of people who don;t realise this, and recevie firm rebuttals from the people who run the site (the Prof is not a real person, btw)
I thought it was just dumb people at that forum, but now I am VERY disappointed to see that none of you could see it for what it was either.
Very bad, this. My confidence is very shaken.
Now you have realised this, check out their LOTR one also, and their 'reasons why file sharing is bad', which has a hysterical start. They also have a series of websites taking the piss out of people who tried to spoilet the film.
This is a clever site made by fans- try not to let your emotions cloud your judgment in future.
Gee, how can you have POSSIBLY thought this was real, seeing how absurd it deliberatley got as time went by? I was annoyed I didn't get it by point 4, and anyone who seriously thought it was genuine by point 7... has issues.
It is tasteless, sure. But it is not dumb.
This, and the LOTR ones are the shittiest spoofs I've ever read. Ever. www.landoverbaptist.org is an example of a good spoof. These were not. When you spoof something, you take the original and exaggerate it. The exaggeration is not supposed to be able to be proven wrong though, just that the perception of the exaggeration is so absurd that you have to believe that it's 1. a spoof, or 2. that these people are lunatics.
I thought neither. Bad spoof.

Nope, that just shows you haven't read i properly. Do so.
It's spoofing the CRITICS.
Geez.
Do your research before you post comments. Thier boards are also full of people who tried to change tack and try and dismiss it intellectually as well, and they all look just as silly.

Landoverbaptist.org is too blatant a spoof to be particularly amuzing. Satire is supposed to be some...subtle...

That's funny, you think I didn't know it was meant to spoof the critics.
I read their boards also, before my post. I'm not trying to "change track"(uhh, what? that would imply that I thought it wasn't a spoof in the first place). It was just a shitty spoof. Maybe they have better ones, but I'm saying that these two, the Matrix and LOTR critic spoofs, suck.

After reading this, I feel like I need to lie down. This is idiotic beyond reason. My four year-old niece could come up with a better critique than this should she watch each film once.

good lord what is it wtih all these Matrix haters? I mean seriously some people in this chat seem to make it their lives to down the matrix...I think their the ones who are obsessed. It's just a movie people what the hell are we all fighting about. We're allowed to have our own opinions true..but in the matrix chat don't join it if you don't like it..save yourself the goddamn trouble!

Well, this was still hilarious. It was a spot-on attack on some of the dumbass criticisms people were levelling at Matrix.
And I guess Sandman was just unable to appreciate that. Shame.
