A strong case can be made for the argument that the internet is the world's strongest fortress for stupidity.

Well, stupidity is not the issue here, but more of a lack of class.

Twice now I have attempted to start a forum game based off of the famous song 'As Someday It May Happen' from Gilvert & Sullivan's comic opera 'The Mikado.' I put the entirety of the song lyrics, and come up with a verse of my own as an example, and say, 'now you try!'

Nobody got it. One person was doing thought it was 'like that freestyle rap thread.' Three people rick-rolled me. One person started using a pop band as a basis for the thing, and when I informed him about how it's based off of a particular song, he said, 'well you should have been more specific.' Another person quoted him to agree.

I put the song title as the topic title. I posted the entirety of the original lyrics, with the exception of the N-word (substituted 'banjo' as is normally the case), and I wrote my own verse. How much more bloody specific do I have to be?

I'm almost positive that Pianist is the only person in Off-Topic who has ever even heard of Gibert & Sullivan, or familiar with their operas.

It's The bleeding Mikado. It's one of the most popular operas ever written. And instead it's all about pop bands or whatever here...

I bemoan the lack of class.
