The humor is lame, the characters are wooden, and the plot is mixed up with a bunch of irrelevant filler to the sum of a thousand pages. There's no accounting for taste, but there's a good chance you're gonna read this and be offended by how dull it is.

>THE YEAR OF THE MK III SONICARE ULTRASONIC TOOTHBRUSH
>Hal Incandenza started reading fan fiction late in the Year of Glad; his own works did not appear until the following year.
> This was the same year that Hal found his capacity for self-expression or maybe let’s call it “other-interface” rather diminished, to put the situation generously, about which diminishment Hal eventually harbored his own private dark suspicions; memories of an almost grotesquely beautiful woman looking down at him, something terribly sad for which she is apologizing over and over, focus wobbly and infantile, a surge of pre-sexual attachment and delight, never ever ever wanting to look away, then something happening which might have hurt and then nothing happening at all for a while.

This - an Infinite Jest fan-fiction - is offensive to me on levels I can barely comprehend. The...audacity...the ignorance....the retardation required for this is just - it's deeply troubling.

Can someone manage to offend me more with literary fan fiction?
