There IS a good reason for not typing in Joe Bob. It's called boredom. When
I first read him, I thought he was a real asshole, a typical redneck. Then
I realized that he wasn't really that bad, that he was just like a little
kid who wants to show you how many days in a row he can wear the same old
dirty underwear; just a sort of tasteless person who doesn't realize how
silly he is. After that, his reviews have seemed just plain dull.

Oh, I realize some people think he's satirical, but you can't make fun of
the same old things in the same old ways over and over again and expect it
to remain fresh. No, if Joe Bob were really satirical, his articles would
not have become so monotonous.

So, please don't put him on.
