    So... what???

    This obsession is insane.

    I predict a 3000% increase in Rickrolling.

    Well, there's no need to panic until it's over 9000%.

    I take this to mean that American trolls are slacking. This calls for massive tariffs on imported troll posts so that the balance shifts to locally sourced, free-range, gluten and asbestos free troll posts. Step it up folks! Those likes, reblogs, and follows won't generate themselves!

    It can't be easy to be make a living as a pro-Trump comedian. The man is a parody of our times.

    You're on to us. Actually the Russian trolls are the only commenters left on this site. And bots of course. It's a honeypot site for the occasional visitor who strays onto the site. I spend most of the time quarrelling with myself under different ids in the hope I manage to trap a visitor. It's a lot of work.
