Hey everyone, I'm a 12 year old kid here and I'm against Microsoft(even though i use it).But I just did a parody on Microsoft for a class assignment. Is ther a way i can add an attachment here? Well it doesn't seem like it so I just wanted to show you guys my parody and maybe you can give me some pointers or something. Thx. I'll add the parody ad as soon as I find out how to add an attachment.

A History of Microsoft

In 1980, IBM was preparing to release a personal computer in order to catch up with Apple. They needed an operating system, but couldn

Hi ..Nahas....

Welcome to the forum.

Your write up on Microsoft's flaws has a lot of merit and is no small accomplishment for a person of your age.  I particularly admire your dedication to the anti-Microsoft movement, though it would carry a bit more weight if you would actually adopt a different OS yourself.  Don't take this as a severe criticism; I hated M$Windows for a long time before I took the plunge and built a Linux box of my own.

I might question whether your composition actually constitutes a parody though.  You've done a significant amount of research and put together what might better be described as a diatribe than a parody.  A parody would require a different approach to the theme.  A parody emulates the style or traits of the subject being parodized in a humorous or satirical style.  To put it more simply, it "pokes fun" at its target.

I don't want to minimize the effort you've put into this project and fully support your desire to deride and ridicule Microsoft.  I would just like you to re-examine your approach to the assignment so that you don't lose credit for missing an important element of it, i.e., developing a parody,rather than registering a complaint.

Feel free to contact me outside of this forum for assistance.

I think it's the ad that's a parody.

Good article, thinking outside the mainstream is something quite rare, at any age.

If you don't get a merit tell us and we'll come round and burn down your school.

Hello Nahasap, great work and welcome to the forums.

I must point out one thing. It doesn't look nice to your teacher if you write down "fuckMicrosoft.com" in your work.

It's better to write "ms-eradication.org", "freemypc.com" or "theydonothavethewayout.com" in your work, because all three domains leed to this website.

Keep up the good work, your doing great!
