Ridicularity: scientific study

Having observed a steady rise in ridiculousness in our society, we have been conducting a study into the nature of ridicularity. Associated symptoms such as clown rage, scamping and even mumblage are clearly increasing. This is perhaps a more pressing issue than global warming.

Before drawing any conclusions, it was incumbent upon this study to ascertaing a viable metric for the quantification of ridiculousness.

In studying the minds of people living with ridicularity (commonly referred to as "the ridiculous"), we discovered something incredible; there is actually a party known as the ridiculon that each person has. Ridiculons can be released by stress, anxiety, pressure, fear, happiness - in fact, the emotional trigger differs from sufferer to sufferer.

A ridiculon in isolation has little effect, but a concentration of ridiculons can exceed an individuals tolerance. Certain individuals have a high tolerance, notably Steven Gerrard is more or less immune to ridicularity. Other individuals are more likely to succumb and be affected by ridicularity.

So what hope is there for sufferers? Well, the primary technique is to avoid trigger conditions. If anxiety is your trigger, learn relaxation techniques.

In future, however, a more long term solution is desirable. We have found that the polarity of ridicularity can be reversed under certain circumstances. This is difficult to reproduce, but some individuals, such as the Beastie Boys, have managed to transcend ridicularity into a state of total awesomeness.

So, in conclusion, it seems that the true road is THROUGH, to embrace one's ridicularity, to be oneself. Perhaps, this way, an individual can overcome ridiculousness and embrace teh awesome.
