By Popular Demand: A Follow-Up to the "K-Fed Situation"




Due to the flurry of links across the blogosphere that has resulted from last night's "K-Fed"-heavy post, Harrogate feels compelled to clarify what may be a misunderstanding on the parts of all these readers. Harrogate in no way meant his most recent post as a lambasting of the great "K-Fed." Indeed, Harrogate would argue that Johnny Nitro (depicted in repugnant hair coat, above) spoke to this issue on Monday Night when he told "K-Fed" not to pay attention to the boos. As a Raw regular who also gets booed on sight each Monday, Nitro had to remind "K-Fed" of the nature of The Rhetorical Situation into which he had walked. In short, Nitro explained, "these people are ignorant." Now there's some Reader-Response Theory for ya!

But anyway, Harrogate digresses. It is almost as if he is unintentionally implying, once again, that "K-Fed" like Johnny Nitro very much deserves to be booed when in reality Harrogate's point is that:

"K-Fed" ought to be congratulated for his capacity to elicit that kind of call and response from audiences. Again, people, Reader Response, Reader Response. Like Johnny Nitro and his skank ho Melina, "K-Fed" knows how to work those "peeps."


Now, Harrogate remembers during Raw turning to an amused Mrs. Harrogate and asking if she thought that Britney was rolling her eyes in disbelief. Mrs. Harrogate rejoined that Britney is probably just happy that "K-Fed" has finally found a proper venue in which to feature his talents, and perhaps as a result actually generate some of his own income. Or something like that.

But as Blues Traveler would say, "But anyway....." the point is that "K-Fed" very much needs to remain a WWE fixture, he really knows how to get it done in the squared circle. Right now Vince is on a roll, he is showing a renewed interest in The Rhetorical Situation that his program represents, and is building his stories accordingly.

In other words, Oops, Vince has happened to have experienced the great fortune of having done it yet again.
