"Personal DNA" Test is Rigged! Rigged, I Tell Ya!
Normally I don't go in for all of that online test stuff. I find them a bit frightening. The last one I took said that there was a chance I was pregnant! Still, everybody has been posting about this Personal DNA thingie, including such notables as Cap'n Dyke, Becca, Samurai Frog and Freida Bee.
So with some trepidation I filled out the form and hoped for the best. The test results create a square broken up into unequal parts. When you put your mouse over each section, it is supposed to display a category of the test takers personality and link to an appropriate website to correspond to that category.
"Surely I will get results that are similar to everybody else," I thought to myself. Boy, was I in for a surprise! Unfortunately the lunatics at this Personal DNA website think I am some kind of sex fiend! Just look at the result!
And of course I have never, ever been to any of the websites that they indicate I frequent. Except maybe one or two of them. Well, perhaps I have been to a few of them, but it was strictly for research purposes!
I am never going to take one of these silly online tests again! Unless maybe it involves superheros. Or food. Or maybe kitties.

I'm an animated analyst! Kind of like Bugs Bunny, methinks.
Dude, dancing and singing zombies are sooooo 1980.
I just wasted my lunch break. Benevolent Creator

Humm,
long test. I came out as a
"benevolent leader".
I got "Generous Creator". I'd call shenanigans, but I don't wanna fill out the paperwork.
Dr. Z -
I took this a few days ago, and I swear it did not have a category for me; I took it to mean I was unique, one-of-a-kind; but I think now that it means I am a misanthrope or I have no personality.
Perhaps you can offer some advice, good sir!

It said "You should shoot yourself".
Oh wait! It said that I'm an "Advocating Artist".
But it didn't have any links in my "DNA Map".
Does that mean that I'm not really here???
I took it too, and I'm a "generous inventor." It must be bogus, because besides the internet, I've never invented anything.
My says that I'm destined for "grated cheese"...very strange.
I'm lacto-intolerant. Maybe it's a death warning!
Hummm ... I'm a Benevolent Analyst!

I must apologize, I have never actually taken the Personal DNA test. It was all a joke. You see, I kept seeing the Personal DNA test on blogs, so I made an image map from a screen capture of the one of the squares, and then added my own links. When you mouse over the image map, it shows you categories like "Zombie Sex!" and "Cowgirls! Cowgirls! Cowgirls!" and "Cheerleaders Gone Wild!" The corresponding links were equally silly. I was not actually advocating the test. I thought that the joke was clear, but I think that my little attempt at humor was too subtle. Everybody seems to have enjoyed the test, though! Maybe I should take it!
------------------------------
Jon the Intergalactic Gladiator: I would say that you are at least as cool as Bugs Bunny. And you have a space ship!
Angry Ballerina: You say that like you can ever get enough dancing and singing zombies! Anyway, those are Pocky Zombies! There is a big difference.
Evil Spock: I'm sorry that you wasted your lunch break. At least now you know that you are a "Benevolent Creator." You should have gone straight to the Pocky Zombies like Angry Ballerina. They are far more nutritious.
Kelly the dog: As a dog, I would think that being a leader would be very important to you. The fact that you are "benevolent leader" is clear from your blog.
J.D.: You would call "Shenanigans?" What the heck is is that? Now that you know that you are generous, why don't you lend me five dollars?
Tengrain: But I am also a misanthrope, and some of my best friends have no personality! The only advice I can offer you is from the film, "A Thousand Clowns,"
"I want to be sure he sees all the wild possibilities. I want him to know it's worth all the trouble just to give the world a little goosing when you get the chance. And I want him to know the subtle, sneaky, important reason why he was born a human being and not a chair."
MichaelBains: Hmm. It said that "You should shoot yourself", or that you are an "Advocating Artist". The difference between the two categories is indeed so subtle that I am not sure that I am able to see the difference.
You don't don't have any links on your "DNA Map" because I made them up on mine. My apologies. Of course you are really here. You even tracked mud on the floor.
Mark: I know that you didn't invent the internet, because we all know that it was Ted Stevens that invented the Internets tubes. I love all of the photos on your blog! I thought this was great! I have to blogroll you because you made a Groucho Marx reference. It's in the rules!
MWB: LOL! You are destined for "grated cheese" - I love it. Your apparent intolerance for milk products could be sign that you are prejudiced. This lack of political correctness on your part could be your undoing in the upcoming election.
BAC: Three people got a description that included the word "benevolent." I think that "Malevolent Analyst" would be even better! You could misdiagnose all of your patients, and prescribe the wrong drugs for them! MWUUU-HA-HA-HA!
Hey, I'm generous, not stupid.
LOL! I'll gladly pay you Tuesday...
Thanks, Dr. Z. I'll look forward to those scientific experiments. Who will you name surgeon general, once you're in office?
Says who!? You? Oh yea, 'cause you are such an expert on zombies.
Mark: It is too early to say. Boris Karloff, perhaps?
Angry Ballerina: As I spent my youth as a lobotomist, I do have some degree of experience turning people into zombies. On the other hand, with the GOP in power, I think that now just about everyone is an expert on zombies.
Sorry 'bout the mud. I was busy diggin' my own grave before deciding maybe I should talk about it with you first.
Not sure if that helped or not...
Ah, well, digging your own grave is easy enough. Filling it is the hard part.
