"...When I first started the project I thought about 50% of people wouldn't get that it was satire and the other 50% would, and those would see it was serious on some other levels, whatever those were. It turned out maybe 80% don't get the satire, really. This was, in fact, disillusioning for me. I lost some faith in people in general as the project went on. And over time, by the end of the project, I was overwhelmed by the number of people asking me what it meant – what does it really mean, does it mean anything? Because I don’t ultimately know." -- William Barker
