[QUOTE=Customer review 1]Zack Parsons, longtime writer for humor website Something Awful and author of My Tank is Fight, casts his second book, Your Next-Door Neighbor is a Dragon, as a travelogue/novel mash-up - or, perhaps more accurately, a self-insertion travelogue fanfic - that explores some of the most popular subcultures developing on the Internet. Rather than study the subcultures in their online iterations,[b] Mr. Parsons travels through several states to interview the strange characters behind the furry avatars. [/b]
Mr. Parsons's Something Awful articles range from the utterly bizarre to the understated and wry. Perhaps his funniest work lands somewhere in the middle; for example, his caricature of Levi Johnston, the father of former Gov. Sarah Palin's grandchild, constructs the teenage father's online persona as a hilariously half-informed, yet sympathetic, rambunctious redneck. Your Next-Door Neighbor is a Dragon tends toward the subdued, which, despite its odd episodes, allows the narrative a sense of truth. A grotesque prologue depicts a distracted Zack sustaining an intense injury to his hand while discussing the genesis of his book with his publisher; this injury, and his medical treatment, straddles the line between the improbable and the normal. Mr. Parsons maintains this level of uncertainty over the veracity of the narrative throughout much of the book, [b]which highlights the discussion of bizarre Internet subcultures at the expense of really funny commentary.[/b] That said, this fictionalized, undocumented, and often incredible book offers some worthwhile insight into the nature of Internet subcultures, including furries, voraphiliacs, otherkin, fanfiction writers, Ron Paulites, self-diagnosed Aspberger's sufferers, and a cult compound.
Your Next-Door Neighbor is a Dragon expounds on one major, overarching theme considered by Plato in his "Allegory of the Cave," in the poetry of the Romantics, and in the Postmodernists' texts: that reality, that a person's conception of the world and how it functions, is constructed by an individual based on the stimuli available. Your Next-Door Neighbor is a Dragon offers one postmodern caveat to this theme, which seems to refer directly to the motto of Something Awful: the Internet really does make you stupid. The prisoners shackled in Plato's cave and the Romantic poets wandering about the woods and enjoying nature could not comprehend the Internet's hypertextual sensory overload. This concept is best represented in the first chapter's discussion of an "Internet scholar's" experiment, in which Zack's senses are bombarded with images until they eventually influence his mental reactions to stimuli. Each of the acquaintances Mr. Parson's discusses throughout the book suffers from a similarly distorted sense of reality, as well as a healthy dose of arrested development and a nearly unshakable sense of righteousness. For example, when Zack confronts the incongruity between Janus's religion and grotesque sexual stories, Janus responds with the incredulous rage of someone who recognizes that his or her worldview is threatened.
Rather than churn out a stream of continuous jokes, Your Next-Door Neighbor is a Dragon employs a generally subdued tone in order to highlight the interesting discussion of Internet subcultures. However, several very funny moments interrupt the piece's faux-journalistic mood. [b]Most notably, the chapter on sexual fanfiction stories, which describes budding Internet authors who crudely recast their favorite fictional characters in XXX-rated situations,[/b] elicits tear-inducing laughter; reading Janus's samples aloud without cracking up is a near-impossible feat. The vague references to and recitations from the Super Bible are also excellent; these jokes, apparently throw-aways, are actually integrated nicely into the narrative.
But the tone begins to shift during the chapter on Lindsey Dawn Riley, a grotesque and frightening character featured in several of Mr. Parson's Something Awful articles, and this section (despite having nothing to do with Internet subcultures) makes up the most engaging and consistently funny portion of the book. This chapter moves seamlessly into an interaction with the evil leader of the white power website Stormfront (whose image reminds me of Dick Cheney leaving the White House in his wheelchair on the day of President Obama's inauguration). And, in the exciting final chapter, an outraged Zack's antagonizes of the leaders of a cult known for recruiting its lonely members from the Internet. Your Next-Door Neighbor is a Dragon, then, offers intriguing insights and sporadic moments of laughter when it sticks to its supposed premise, but really engages the reader near its conclusion, when it moves away from its initial structure.
In Your Next-Door Neighbor is a Dragon, Mr. Parson's presents a unique, thoughtful, and fun narrative about the real lives of the men and women who dominate the Internet's most prolific and strange subcultures. Though Mr. Parson's book is not filled with the kind of wacky, zany, random humor that one might expect from an Internet humor writer, its wry explorations of Internet subcultures, occasionally punctuated by laugh-out-loud moments, conclude in a very funny and surprising finale.[/QUOTE]

Well, they COULD be normal. Nothing about the thread at first glance IMPLIES the contents within. However, the NSFW icon sort of gives away what would lie ahead.

Yeah, you have to be new to not know what goes on in this thread. Even though, this thread seems to have the same effects as a car accident, once you glance, you can't stop watching.
