*If I may be candid, this entire use of non-offensive nature may be offensive to those who are sensitive to the fact that they take things too seriously, ergo, you offended a person who takes offense to the fact that you think you are offending said individual. Furthermore, you have offended any astute English teachers by flagrant disregard for the appropriate number of parentheses in your blog post.

Please note, all views, opinions, comments, thoughts, and words used in this comment are not to misconstrued to represent the actual views, opinions, comments, thoughts, and words of the author.

*:By reading this sentence and all sentences before and after that are marked with an asterisk , you are entering a legally binding res ipsa loquitur waiving of rights saying that I am instantly acquitted of any and all psychological or physiological complications caused by, but not limited to, frustration dealing with fully comprehending this comment and any physical manifestation of aforementioned frustration.

*Unfortunately, you have not put such aforementioned liability waiving clauses in your blog post, and reading your blog post have caused me as well as several of my clients to maliciously slaughter their monitor(s). You are now held liable. A full pamphlet regarding their complaints shall be filed post haste.

I thank you for your consideration in this regard, and wish you to have a nice day.

I'm guessing this is either a commentary on the theological pablum often vomited by denominational leaders too afraid to even utter the word "sin" for fear of having to actually define it, or a commentary on the "shock jock" nature of the contemporary media including the blogosphere which tends to rely on sensationalism and idiotic titillation to gain viewers and/or readers, or it's just Brett's way of expressing himself while in a particularly droll mood, ironically seeking comments on nonsense.

Brett Probert said...

...or all of the above...or NONE of the above...details tomorrow.

Does this have anything to do with being the biggest loser? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I meant your weigh in at the gym, not you.
