Is that Perez Hilton review supposed to be a joke?

Michael,

If you view it as a joke, please feel free to look at its inclusion as such.

When Perez Hilton writes about a Broadway opening, his piece comes up in all google searches for opening night reviews.

I included him this time because his blog has a good-sized audience that reaches well beyond the usual audiences for theater which is a demographic that I think "Rocky" really wants to reach.

Plus, his review is enthusiastic and positive (except for the new songs), and I figured why not throw the musical as many good words as possible.

Sorry, I wasn't questioning your inclusion of the review. I'm just wondering if Hilton's writing style is an intentional joke. By the way, does he always write in the first-person plural? Is that supposed to be the "royal we?"

"'Spider-Man' is out and 'Rocky' is in! However, the similarities between these two shows are many! We saw 'Spider-Man' and we really enjoyed it. We enjoyed it so much that we saw it a second time. We just saw the new musical based on the iconic Sylvester Stallone movie and we really enjoyed it. We enjoyed it so much we would see it a second time too!. . . . Big show! Big production! And a BIG cast, lead [sic] by Andy Karl in the title role."
