Against: 1	Against. So much obscurity! I'm familiar with O'Henry (who doesn't know "Gift of the Magi"), but I can't figure out why the historical founder of Virginia is writing a Rush song, or how that relates to O'Henry. The Donner/Dahmer pun is funny, but then it turns into a Purple Passion joke for reasons I cannot quite understand. If the middle story satirizes something, I have no idea how to identify what it is, and I don't know how bouncing off a window and breaking a television is an O'Henry ending. Sorry, but this article just left me utterly bewildered. pillow talk 17:26, July 22, 2010 (UTC) Edited to Add: Actually, the scoretext field shed a lot of light on the joke - I guess the concept is that O'Henry actually wrote Purple Passion/ Shaggy Dog endings... I'm a little less confused, but still confused. And if I have to actually read the VFH nomination page to get it... pillow talk 17:28, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Comments	Abstain. I am not familiar with the writer or his works though from a summary check via Wiki - he sounds like a member of the Old Hat school of writing. Can't decide therefore if this a good parody or not. RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 15:44, July 11, 2010 (UTC) Comment. As a confirmed philistine, I am completely unaware of this author, and therefore cannot judge this work fairly. Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 11:42, July 12, 2010 (UTC) To both of you seemingly professional abstainers, all you really need to know about O'Henry and enjoy the article is stated in the very first paragraph. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 04:40, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
