If any further proof were needed of the corruption of scoring on this parody site, you have it right here. After I was the first to vote, and awarded all 1s, the cavalry rode to the rescue. As of this writing, seven (7) mutual back scratchers, betraying a disgraceful lack of integrity, all gave the alleged parody strings of undeserved 5s. The best of parodies never receive such kudos in a single day.

Congratulations, you shameless frauds! You have further devalued the earned 5 and the hard work of the few remaining talented writers who persist in the face of your dishonesty.

Wow! A Unibomber with a rhyming manifesto who hates "Defiance." Well buddy or gal (translation: old disgruntled vet too cowardly to print his or her name) time for the German to pull out the big guns with stats. First of all, I have 1964 parodies in 25 mos= 79/mo of which 581 IPASOY parodies account for just 30% while 140 WHP accounts for a measley 7% leaving 1243 or 63% OTHER! And both my broad intelligence base and productivity are well-known not just here, but all over the Internet. Let's see: most parodies in one day-22! Length of time of consecutive Fragments- 8 weeks straight and 7 and 5 and 4 and so on. Am ONLY TOP 10 PARODIST THAT IS ALSO TOP 10 CONTRIBUTOR (Numbers 4 and 6 respectively) with 1964 parodies and nearly 4300 submissions which is well over 6000 total submissions in 25 mos! That makes me UNIQUE here. And of the 10 submission categories I am Number 1 in 7 with numbers 2, 4, and 6 for the other three. I dominate. I also was only parodist to tackle the Dark Knight Massacre, was first to parody Pussy Riot's Anti-Putin song, have created over 25+ new artist pages by myself, am the only one doing KPOP songs on a regular basis besides PSY, AND my topics are unrivaled for diversity and extensive knowledge. And it didn't take me 5-10 years to accomplish, but just over 2. I am almost at 2nd Malcomn and reached my first in a mere 10 mos- 100 parodies a month sustained. Talk prolific? I can easily beat the best here and I am just an amateur having fun and am in a slow-down right now. I use everything too- hymns, poetry, kids songs, commercial jingles, you name it. And as for Barry, I respect him highly and admire his artistry. But as far as Milspeak and Technolang neither he nor anyone else can top me. Hell, I would be amazed if they even knew what proper designations for weapon systems were!!! You seem to be selective in whom you hit for IPASOY parodies when he did it first and in massive blocks- no criticism from you there and same for WHP which other parodists have done too; in fact, the old vets retread all the Beatles songs regularly as well as Sinatra, Nat King Cole, ad nauseum. At least I am diversified with any type of music category and any time period. I even have songs from non-singing celebrities ranging from Lindsay Wagner to Kim Kardashian!!! So who are you to say anything about me? Unless you are JAB or AFW, you comments are worthless. Come back when you rival my stats for the short time period. Btw, "Defiance" is a great sci-fi show on Syfy!!! Attacking my parody over Castithans is ridiculous and as for votes look at the hits and do the math- a 60/40 split at the time of this writing!

Some diatribe! I must have put a spell on you, Honey Pie.

I'm back for a look-see, but no longer parodying. First, I thank "Disgusted" for mentioning me in such distinguished company. Second, I think that Rob has made a mistake by quantifying his contributions. Statistics have their place, but the measure of a good parody is immeasurable. How do you measure wit and gracefulness and inspiration? "Disgusted": Your criticism would be more credible if you'd contribute a dozen or so high-quality examples of parody. That's all you need to prove your worth. Aiming for prolificacy produces mediocrity. The brain must relax, but be receptive to the muse. Rob, take it from Simon and Garfunkel:
Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.
Hello lamppost, What cha knowing?
I've come to watch your flowers growing.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo, Feelin' groovy.

Thanks Al, but how do I know that you are not Disgusted as 1) the first reply I had removed as personal attack and 2) you are operating with a False S/N being a vet that does excellent work that posted 8 parodies in 1 day off the bat which revealed that you were NOT a newbie at all! And the fact that OMR 555'd ALL of your work just as he does for JAB and you listed yourself as an older male using the same artistic materials as JAB and OMR... makes you look suspicious. I come from a high volume NG and high powered rough forums that are unmoderated and know the false S/Ns, the sock puppet talk, the trolls, the flamers, etc... b/c I defeated them on MY NG. As stated before I came here to have fun and just post a few parodies today about... whatever. To infer that I have no quality of parodies is insulting. Without the 1-bombers of political, sports, random, and spiteful types on my artist page, from the beginning I have a wall of 4s and 5s and until recently under bombing seige no 1-3s overall in almost 2000 parodies. You obviously ignore the best of my works or you don't understand alot of my info parodies the worth of knowledge greater than the lyrics. If anything, no one can ever say that they did not amass a lot of new knowledge from my texts and lyrics. Even the high vets have said so including Mr. Barry who has stated that he also prefers to be a numbers man despite the artistry angle. Many LIKE my parodies which are unconventional at times, and witty, and sarcastic, morbid, etc... so where are you coming from? Typically, on a moderated site where a poster's comment gets removed (and in this case it was a short rhyme) it looks bad that you come back "to take a look" and then use another rhyme to say the same thing as OP!!! Not wise IMHO. If not Disgruntled under another name, then please forgive me. But I find that pattern here as well as on the NGs and forums. Peace.

I never use a name other than my own. I did so in my disagreement with the hypersensitive TT about his excesses.
I take a look here every day, but now refrain from contributing parodies because there are too few who are interested in my Golden Oldies OS. Too bad. I liked the exercise, but the rank and file here took the heart out of me.
The removal of Disgusted's rhyming critique was an act of egotism which you have put on full display in recent hours. By the way, your vote support is now at a level which proves the contention by Disgusted that voting is too often just a popularity contest. His/hers is certainly not the first such complaint.
This is the only parody site I have ever contributed to. From now on, I will avoid it altogether. Before coming to AIR, I had written perhaps one parody a year for 10 years for my own amusement, and passed them on to friends and family. I am unfamiliar with Internet slang, so your acronyms make no sense to me, and I can't find most of their definitions on Google search.
Apology accepted.

Actually, Disgusted, what happened here and happens frequently is that voters who would not have otherwise voted will cast a 5x5 to counter what they perceive as unfairness by a Unibomber. This happened many times to me when one of my tunes with conservative political ovetones was one bombed for no other reason than a liberal's disagreement with the content. My highest 5x5 vote totals are all due to this reaction. If this means lack of integrity, then the first corrupt step was taken by the one-bomber.
