Do not taunt Happy Fun Industry Professional;

Or, Does Mark Waid Have To Smack A Bitch?

(Let it be noted that although I like much of Waid's writing, and quite a lot at that[1], I'm not being a drooling fan follower when I say this smackdown is composed of pure awesome. I will admit it's gratifying that my off-the-cuff, totally-armchair, unlearned opinion of the original post is borne out by someone who'd be In The Know--that is, I felt it contained what seemed to be some excellent points that were mostly or completely obscured by a giant cloud of smug superiority that appeared to have no basis for its existence.)

[1] And some quite not. I got some words to say about Birthright.

No, the "do not taunt" part...it's an old, old, way old, SNL bit originally called "happy fun ball" in which a toy ball is disclaimered with a number of warnings including "do not taunt happy fun ball".

I recall that if 'happy fun ball' begins to glow you are to seek cover immediately.
