First of all, in case you don't know what "Bizarro World" is, read this snippet from the wikipedia:
"In the Bizarro world, society is ruled by the Bizarro Code, which states that it is a crime to do anything well or to make anything perfect or beautiful. Predictably camp lines abound. In one episode, for example, a salesman is doing a brisk trade selling "Bizarro bonds. Guaranteed to lose money for you". Later in this episode, the mayor appoints Bizarro #1 to investigate a crime, "Because you are stupider than the entire Bizarro police force put together". This is intended and taken as a great compliment."
In other words, everything in Bizarro World is the opposite of its nature in our world.
So here's my question: what is "Bizarro World" in the actual Bizarro world?
If things are their opposites in Bizarro World, then wouldn't the very term "bizarro" have the opposite meaning in Bizarro World? If "bizarro" means "the opposite" in our world, it should mean "the same" in Bizarro World.
In short, if a resident of Bizarro World uses the phrase "In Bizarro World...", they should be talking about their own world, since it's only in our world that "bizarro" should mean "the opposite". After all, in their world, everything works backward!
Do people agree with me? I've drunkenly made this argument a whole bunch of times at parties, and I can't even convince totally drunk-off-their-asses people. I mean, if you can't convince someone after they've had three vodka shots and two beers, is it time to just pack up and leave?
Does this make sense to anyone?
Try an experiment: does it make more sense after you have a few drinks?
