Cracked: I Can't Tell If Movies Are Being Serious Anymore

Cracked writes:
I recently learned all about "Poe's Law," from Cracked Editor David Wong. Poe's Law is a handy little concept invented by Nathan Poe in a religious Internet forum a few years ago. According to Wikipedia, the "core of Poe's law is that a parody of something is by nature extreme, [which] makes it impossible to differentiate from sincere extremism." In Nathan's case, the law applied to his inability to distinguish religious extremism from a parody of religious extremism. I don't hang around religious forums (court order), but I'm starting to feel like Poe's Law is just as applicable to movies. Something about movies changed over the last few years. Like Poe, I'm looking at the world around me and desperately searching for a joke that would be impossible to find.

Also, the description should tell us more than just essentially repeating the title. Also, no first-person pronouns allowed, they must be edited out and replaced with third-person, even if you yourself are the author.

Industry is for corporate news. This should be in Culture.

Certainly movies like that aren't meant to be serious ;)
