In that case, they should post a searchable archive of the Enron email data set (https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~enron/ https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~enron/) as a "webmail" interface.

How is this parody? There is no 'funny' in it. Funny would be if it would be clearly tongue-in-cheek. But yeah good find about that clause.

  It's a "parody" in the same way that youtube pranks are "just a prank bro" The kind of idiots who do this stuff think it's a get out of jail free card for bad behavior. DOGE was also a "joke"

> apparently someone thinks it's a good and funny idea to make a big joke out of a company that ruined people, and this is about as much oxygen as i'm inclined to give it As if Enron hasn't been the butt of about a million jokes for the last 25 years.

  I'm not sure why it became popular to denigrate people for making jokes about bad things. Mel Brooks has the point of view that there are some things that are so bad that the only appropriate response is to make jokes about it. It's ok to not like jokes if you find the topic hurtful, jokes don't have to please everybody. Everyone deals with trauma in their own way At the same time declaring the unacceptablity of a joke because people suffered is to presume how those people feel about it and manage that suffering. Many of those people will manage it with humour themselves.

      Without reason, you should assume that an intelligent audience can identify humor from malice or ignorance.

      Everyone wants to hear you laugh, many are willing to hear you out if you suffer, nobody wants to hear anyone whine or bitch.

      I mean you're allowed to do pearl clutching just don't be surprised when people call you out on it.

      It is ok to say that you didn't like it. The line is when you imply that it was wrong to have made it. I feel like saying "Someone thinks it's a good and funny idea..." Carries the implication of distain and that the joke shouldn't have been made. Express yourself, but be compassionate, don't bully, shame, school, or any other emotive attack.

Must be a well-funded parody, since they took out a full page ad in the Houston newspaper.
