THE DUKE GETS A KICKING
FROM THE CRITICS!
FROM THE CRITICS!
| The Duke, Post-Review (reconstruction) |
Critics, man. With the sole exception of, say, The Duke De
Mondo, they never know what they’re yacking about. If they
ain’t waxing ridiculous about David Lynch Is Great or
complaining about Mel Brooks, then they’re comparing The Duke
to Craig Motherfucking David.
We’ll focus on the latter case for the meantime, on account
of the fine folks at The Weblog Review saw fit to tear The
Duke’s home of Mondo Irlando asunder with their critical
Stanley-knives.
Mondo, they never know what they’re yacking about. If they
ain’t waxing ridiculous about David Lynch Is Great or
complaining about Mel Brooks, then they’re comparing The Duke
to Craig Motherfucking David.
We’ll focus on the latter case for the meantime, on account
of the fine folks at The Weblog Review saw fit to tear The
Duke’s home of Mondo Irlando asunder with their critical
Stanley-knives.
It will do you no good to know that some folks out there
consider The Duke’s prodigious talents with the old graphical
art to be lacking, or that his home is “Rather garish”, or that,
unbelievably, The Duke “quite frankly, just made me feel ill.”
The truth of it all, however, is that such subversive ideas
exist.
Of course, we all know these to be gross miscalculations, and
that, in fact, The Duke’s highly intellectual writings are
“stunning achievements, filled with heavenly delight”, as Felini
said when he was talking about something else. But still, this
development is disturbing, probably 81% more disturbing than the
bit in Bad Lieutenant when Harvey Kietel got naked and danced
around the sofa.
Of the three critics who assessed The Duke’s lifework, ODATT was
perhaps most misguided. “If the author chose to write like an
adult instead of a 13 year old teenager”, they muse, “I would
probably come back more often.” ODATT also considers “the amount
of unnecessary swearing. Not just casual swearing either – it is
pretty blatant and pretty full on throughout the blog.” Well
colour me shocked as a motherfucker at such a slanderous fucking
remark.
Yetzirah, the second critic, earns points by stating; “I must
confess, I’m convinced the fellow is fairly intelligent”, but
squanders this potential by awarding Mondo Irlando a ridiculous
2.25 out of 5. Also, they complain that “I did not run across an
explanation of what the title of the site means, although it may
be in there somewhere.”
For clarification, Mondo Irlando means “Probably the greatest
website ever crafted.” This is the Oxford English definition.
Some other dictionaries may provide slightly differing
interpretations.
Obz supplies the highest rating of all, granting a 3 out of 5 to
The Duke, although they lose points considerably with the
following deeply unsettling remark; “The graphics look like they
were done in Windows Paint. Creepy. Even creepier is Aaron
constantly referring to himself in the third person as the Duke.”
I leave it to you, friends, to check out These Reviews Of Mondo
Irlando and to make up your own mind about how The Duke is
amazing.
Thanks folks.
