Godfrey Elfwick... and other parody accounts

Godfrey's new column on gender. I don't like Louis CK, but I think that Godfrey's reaction is pretty funny. His previous two columns are worth checking out too.

I must say though, Titania McGrath is easily just as good as Godfrey!

Apparently Titania McGrath has a book out on March 7th

In Woke, Titania McGrath demonstrates how everybody can play their part in the pursuit of social justice. As a millennial icon on the forefront of online activism (i.e. having written numerous angry tweets), Titania is uniquely placed to guide her readers through the often bewildering array of terminology and concepts that constitute twenty-first-century 'wokeness'. These new ideas often leave the general public bemused, particularly if they don't read the Guardian.

Being woke is actually much easier than people think. As Titania demonstrates, anyone can be an activist. By simply adding a rainbow flag to your Facebook profile, or calling out an elderly person who doesn't understand what 'non-binary' means, you can change the world for the better. Indeed, social media has now made it possible to show how virtuous you are without having to do anything at all.

Timely and indispensable, Titania's step-by-step guide will help you to become the woke person you need to be in an increasingly progressive world. In a non-patronising manner, Titania will explain why you are wrong about everything and how to become more like her.

Ade "Scrubs" Haddock is fab on twitter.

Ma Scrubs asking me if I’d prefer to have a capon for Christmas rather than turkey and then snorting loudly into her mug of Advocaat.

I'm absolutely addicted to Titania. Just looking at her earnest little face makes me laugh 😂

That Ade "Scrubs" Haddock Twitter account is a hoot.

"That McKinnon one makes me look rational. Mince pie anyone?"

and

"A troupe of people who identify as dancers frollick around a Maypole. Today is a 'Pride' event and all the village girls are wearing ribbons in their beards."

Are comedy gold.

Oh - and I love the blurb about Titania's book - it perfectly describes the sjw I have the misfortune to know.

I didn't realise that Guardian article was a spoof! I remember reading it at the time and thinking it was a bit much. I'm surprised the Guardian haven't removed it.

I love The Guardian being hoist by its own petard.
