Analysis of Story time

In the blog post Story time the author makes a provoking argument about how modern western culture has caused such a deterioration in society that it is impossible for children to sleep at night with out some form of artificial light ficture. The manure is representative of the filth of political corruption. The Knight, usually a shiny, honorable figure is portrayed as a villan with a hot daughter and a really nice car. The anachronism of the car shows how western culture takes something traditional and preverts it into something more popular which is just horrible because it makes pregnant women fell fat. Billy, the boy with a goattee, was symbolic of nothing. the drawbridge showed how that the decline in religious fervour as well as the invasion of barbarians was responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire. The part with the flying car, three different camera angles, and shower of sparks was just awesome and pretty bad. When they boy got out of the car with those sun glasses on I honestly peed myself. The author chooses to finish the story by revealing the names of the boy and girl, he makes it a reference to Steve Miller's Take the Money and Run which also mentions a castle.

I would like to say one more thing. and that is that satire is really fun.
