Further proof that the psychology of micromangement has killed Hollywood.

Maybe they’re shooting the next Monty Python movie.

You do realize that whole blog is a joke, right? Brilliant, and oh so close to the truth, but still a joke.

Yes, I knew it was fake, but you’re right; I should have mentioned that. I edited to make that clear.

I have a headache now.

Thanks for killing the dream, Markland.

I wish you hadn’t made that edit. Having fake stuff appear real is a big part of what makes the fake stuff funny. Isn’t that what satire is? Pointing out the fakeness takes away some of the funniness, especially the "aha" moment that comes to different people at different times (and, unfortunately, for some people, never).
