As is oft the case, the comments below the article are greater in literary value than the actual article.
Comments: the democratic way to clean up other people's garbage. Comments.
Really.

No literary value, c'est vrai.
right back at you
I throw your fancy "c'est vrai" right back at you buddy, since my comment about that article probably annoyed *you*.
there, now we can go on in an infinite loop.
There *is* literary value to be found from on an online discussion (ie: the comments) about a subject in that you can get a sense of how the online "community" feels and thinks, and then form your own conclusions (presuming enough of the commenters take the subject at hand seriously, which I think they did in this case). In that your article prompted such a discussion, it was successful, imo. So...i wasnt just "annoyed". (and I welcome a rejoinder too, if you want to try and prove that I was)
otoh, I couldnt help but feel the author was at times belaboring the point, and trying to put a fancy dress on something that just doesn't fit in one. Or to put it another way, it felt like the author - regardless of the author's actual intent - was going for "I'm cool, I'm anticonformist, I'm non-mainstream" points (and the french phrases dont really help you there you know). And since i'm not a teenager that feeling doesnt resonate well with me. at all.
And, this being the internet...
