The Correctness — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:34:34 +0000

With this article, we embark on a bold new task: Correct that which needs Correcting. To that end, we focus today on the most reviled of the Star Wars films: Episode I, The Phantom Menace. This task is not an easy one, for there is much that needs fixing. Read More...

Today, The Correctness takes a closer look at Luke Skywalker, whom many have lauded as a hero, both for his role in ending the grip of the Galactic Empire, as well as playing an important role in the Prophesy of Restoring Balance to the Force.

The Correctness is proud to present the Comedy Stylings of TK421. Yes, we know, only one guy seems to be laughing, but some people just don't get the subtlety of a good Bantha joke.

25 Things Right with The Star Wars Universe

The Correctness — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 05:33:07 +0000

We get dozens of emails saying that The Correctness does nothing but make fun of, and mock things. Those emails are just stupid. Clearly, The Correctness is a bastion of all things good AND bad. To that end, we present the mirror opposite of our list of 25 things wrong with The Star Wars Universe. We know that the normal behavior of Star Wars fans is to shit all over the thing they claim to love the most, but if we didn't love it in the first place, we couldn't hate it so much.

NERD FIGHT!

admin_rock — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:05:21 +0000

Here at The Correctness, we deal in things nerdish. Also geekish and Pointdexterish, but mainly nerdish. And if there's one things nerds can do better than most, it's arguing about minutia. (Also math, computers, biology, chemistry, botany, etc). Some of you out there are thinking, "so friggin what". And you're right. But just for a moment, consider the endless entertainment appeal of watching the little guys get really, really worked up about nothing, with the calming knowledge that if they get out of hand, you can easily subdue all of them, regardless of the numbers involved.

Oh Constant Reader, you may recall that in order to celebrate our 100^th member of our facebook group, we held a contest requesting your best “advice column letter”. We also asked you to sign off with a clever acronym that summarized your troubles, like “NERD” or “BATMAN”.

The Large Hadron Collider and Your Certain Doom

RobbieRobTown — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:50:32 +0000

ConCERNed? Ha! Seriously, Large Hadrons, and the End of the World. We here at The Correctness are not physicists. OH! Wait- No, I looked around again, and we are not physicists, but what we ARE for certain is correct, and we’d like to offer some advice on your impending doom. So, regarding your horrifying death: When CERN finally fixes the Large Hadron Collider in November, we can guarantee you that the first large hadron collision will set in motion the destruction of all life on earth, most probably by terrifying creatures from dimensions beyond, but possibly, and somewhat optimistically, just from a massive gravitational collapse that will swallow our planet. Let’s explain a bit about the LHC.

A Correctness Correction

Please Note: H1 N1 is not an astromech droid from Star Wars. It is in fact a potentially fatal virus, also known as swine flu. It is subsequently a lot less cool than we first thought. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused with our previous endorsement.

The Correctness Book Club This Week: Pride and Prejudice, as reviewed by Dave, Rob, and Tony. R: Hi everyone, this week we’ve been reading Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. I am told that this is one of the great Regency period Romances. T: I’m a big fan of the Regency. D: I stayed at the Regency in New York once. It was really nice- a bit dialogue heavy, but nice. R: Let’s begin with the important parts. I’m not one to judge a book by its cover, but I’d like to take a moment to judge this book by its cover.
