Yea, it is a satire. A few months back, there was a page associate to the disclaimer named meaning and purpose. I’ve read it myself, and it was saying that the site was a satire. You can still see trace of this on ubuntuforums.org Tristan also said it was a joke in some google groups a few months back.

I don’t think they’re serious. This is the part that makes me suspect that: ”

But it could be they think they’re making fun of gay pride, so it’s hard to say.

That Shelley post was a work of art. What do you think about Heteropride? http://www.heteropride.com/ I just blogged about their site. Satire? I’m not sure.

[...] The other day, I also noticed what has to be the most insightful comment ever about STR.com – I’m not sure I agree with Evil Bender’s deconstruction of the site – I think he is crediting the authors with far too much intelligence. [...]

I think maybe the link’s wrong here…

Good to play pirates with you the other day, btw. :-)

Sorry the second round sucked so much; sometimes those swabs just can’t shoot a cannon to save their lives.
