You're not the only one who submitted this to the firehose, as well. If I could make one suggestion to you, it's to check the firehose before submitting a story to check if it's a dupe. I can understand that you might've skipped that step if you were so tired as to write 'parity' instead of 'parody' three times, but it's something to consider, because everyone loves flaming dupes if they get past the editors onto the front page. Now, that's the editor's fault, of course, but still, that dupe had to have been submitted by someone who wasn't checking the hose.
Don't worry, I'm not deriding you, just giving a bit of advice.
