In the virtual Wild West of the Internet, there is the Law of Godwin, to whit:
"...Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies)[1] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990 which has become an Internet adage. It states: "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." The meme has recently become a form of comedic preemptive strike. |
