What do you call satire that isn't..
This really should be satire.. it just sounds so perfect.. but what makes it really funny is that it's not. All I can say is.. "wow".
"John Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. No argument, it was true, they were. Well, even though the vast majority of people have never heard of Steve [Gillmor] or myself, we're more influential than John Lennon or Bob Dylan ever were. We're media hackers."
Here's hoping it's an experiment to see how many people pick up the quote and make fun of it.

I think it's a test to see how many crackers and web-defacers exist within the ranks of the Christian right. :)

Actually, knowing Dave's track record... he was serious.
