Trickster Bruce's little video series - and his overall ideological bent - strongly remind me of the "Placido Pax" satire video series created by former CI member Alphonsus Jr:

umm.... those videos are by Trickster? Not funny or enlightening, just annoying. I dunnno, maybe it's European or Canadian humor of some variety that I just don't get. (Kind of embarrassed for him...)

Er, no... Alphonsus Jr... As per the "life imitates parody" bit in the title.

Humor is, of course, somewhat subjective. I find the Placido Pax videos to be hilarious because they're such a spot-on satire of typical Novus Ordite errors and hypocrisies.

As it has to do with the Crisis in the Church, it's really a gallows humor of the darkest kind, but Modernist absurdity lends itself so naturally to comedy...

And laughing at this kind of absurdity is the next most logical reaction to it... right after weeping.

His Taj Mahony tour was pretty good, but "Placido" is just annoying. He must have a really dull morning commute. : )

(Is that Jitpring?)

Hi BTNYC... I checked out Placido Pax; what an interesting character.. I only listen to two videos and he employs an interesting method in underlining the unreasonable attacks on traditionalists.

Have you listen to the rest of his video's - if so, what is your overall sense of his message,?
