There's a topic that comes up in the body of this article that is always irritating to read. I won't mention the topic, but a parody is below-- see if you can tell which sentence I'm referring to:

"Greetings, reader! I am a parasite that swims around in my host's conceptual understanding of an esoteric technology with an incredibly narrow set of use cases. My purpose is to spur writing about me in blogs and forum comments in an attempt to rationalize my existence and exaggerate my use cases. This decreases the likelihood that any of us parasites get pondered and ultimately suffocated with conceptual nail polish by a particular host. And that increases the importance of this esoteric tech in the mind's eye of the hosts. So if another parasite is getting fed by reading this, well bon appetite, my friend! If not, please wait patiently for a host near you to explain this exciting investment opportunity."
