The Fountainhead - A Parody

I just discovered this hilarious web page, The Fountainhead - A Parody. Don't bother to visit the page if you haven't read The Fountainhead, you simply won't get it.

And talking about not getting stuff, I thought there was something wrong with me for not getting The Fountainhead at all, but the parody does a better job of illustrating why the book makes no sense than I could ever do by writing about it.

So why am I bothering to slog through Atlas Shrugged? I'm not sure, but I feel an obligation to finish it, as if it's necessary reading on the part of someone who claims to be a libertarian.

Also, I recall reading somewhere that Arnold Schwarzenegger was a fan of Ayn Rand. It's bad enough that he lifts bigger weights than me, but the thought of him reading bigger books than me is just too much to take.
