I suggest a settlement somewhat along the lines of the Burlington Coat Factory: ask MacMillan to display a notice

ps Of course, on THIS website, ideas have floated from one to another by mind waves or even stolen from someone in this century by someone hundred years ago so anything is possible.

Posted by: Guest at July 20, 2011 08:25 PMI think he does not understand the Orwell quote. He puts it at the top, but his site seems to have no attempted jokes anywhere. It's like he has always had a tiny disagreement with orthodoxy, and than ran into a quote from someone famous that he thinks says that his tiny disagreement means he is a comedian.
if you contact him, my advice is butter him up by saying what a funny guy he is.

Posted by: Amandasaurus at July 21, 2011 01:16 AMWell, if every joke is a tiny revolution, that's a pretty small war he's fighting over there.....
Do you think his actual name is Johnathan Schwartz?
Posted by: Aaron Datesman at July 21, 2011 09:58 AMCharacteristic of Canadians, may I say, my apologies, Jonathan. I have posted a link on my site to yours and will make efforts to ensure that people are going to the correct site.
I love Orwell (in fact I just visited his home on Jura where he wrote 1984) and have always loved the quote. As for misunderstanding the meaning of the quote given the content of my site, but will take that as fair comment. Your site is WAY funnier, and I will encourage all my friends and readers to buy Our Kampf as I just did from Amazon.ca.
