I realize the whole ironic Lovecraft thing is pretty much played . . .

. . . but occasionally an exception emerges from the tenebrous mire of the collective digital unconscious to elicit big laughs.



I might as well take this opportunity to remind loyal readers that I share my birthday (Aug. 20) with Lovecraft. Neat, huh?

(Thanks again to Justin!)

That is awesome - it emerged from the tenebrous mire, all right. You know there are people out there who will think that's a real commercial.

Sadly, there are those who seem genuinely incapable of "getting" satire of any kind. To them, if it looks like an advertisement -- however superficially -- then it *is* an advertisement.

Have you ever noticed how transhumanism and interest in Lovecraft's fiction inevitable seems to come together? Every single transer I know (myself obviously included) has a series Lovecraft fetish--some of them even know more about Grandpa Theobald than *I* do! It's weird.
