Long ago, I wrote a couple pieces for Design Observer.
“Cars: Pixar Falls for Intelligent Design”
A satirical critique of the design of the Cars universe.
This piece got hundreds of comments (now turned off) and was enormously controversial.
It was also copied by Roger Ebert a few weeks later when he wrote a satirical critique of the Transformers universe with the same premise.

“An Open Letter to James Cameron From Papyrus"
A satirical critique of the move Avatar written from the perspective of the Papyrus font. This piece went incredibly viral and at one point was even linked to by the New York Times.
