This is a question The B3TA Confessional

With the Pope about to visit the UK, what better time to unburden yourself of anything that's weighing on your mind by posting it on the internet? Pay particular attention to the Seven Deadly Sins of lust, greed, envy, pride, posting puns on the QOTW board and the other ones. Top story gets to kneel before His Holiness's noodly appendage, or something

You should take the Stewart Lee approach
And sneer at people who don't read highbrow things.

If you claim it's "comedy" then pretentious, sniffy tossers will lap it up in their desperate search for exclusivity.

Stewart Lee
I read an article about his built-in shelving and I seem to like the man. Your advice is mine for the taking now. I shall send you a postcard from the high ground.

You've completely missed the point.
What he's "sneering at" is the current idea that "all writing (or music, art, whatever) is equally valid" and the only difference between high art and churned-out shit is one of snobbery.
Everyone buys into this postmodern wankfest because it gives them a good excuse not to try anything difficult.

Hahahahaha
Don't get me wrong - I enjoy sneering at others as much as the next man.

I watch X-Factor, BUT I ALSO SNEER AT PEOPLE WHO DO, because I watch it ironically.
