The consequences of taking the wrong approach are quite severe. Proceed with caution.

The author of that has a show on some cable network now. He was on @midnight the other day. He wasn't very funny extemporaneously.

Translation: Yes, no, maybe, can you repeat the question?

There are no rules about how you interpret the title, except maybe an unwritten rule to be original or ingenious or clever.

It's like when the title was "WTF." I was the only person who figured out it was the name of a radio station in Tallahassee, Florida. I didn't win, though. It still comes down to who did the best song that could be called "The War On." Or who can convince the most friends to come vote for them...

You will take crap on the SFBB (that is this message board by the way) if people don't think your song sounds like it should have the title "The War On". Or they don't understand how the song relates to the title.

The J. Biveous "Day of the Dead" didn't get many questions about it, probably because it was me I suspect, but Niv still wound up explaining how "Katrina" relates to "Day of the Dead".

All part of the game!

More like because it was one of Niv's many lyrical entries, so we all knew it was topical. The SF world doesn't revolve around you, ya know! Okay, yeah, so in actual fact it literally does. Just sayin', my Niv-written song didn't have the title in it either, and nobody said anything. In both cases the connection was obvious, imho. Although it's possible that people just didn't like my song enough to pay that much attention to the lyrics (which btw were inspired by the zombie Bub from that movie, according to Niveous).

Oh man I almost had to fight you. Imagine, the nerve.

Here's an article from Politico today which correlates well with the song title choice:

The phrase "The war on" is a rhetorical tactic regardless of the object (the Internet's top suggestions include terror, drugs, poverty, kids, and Christmas -- oddly, cancer doesn't make this list). If you want to reflect on it as a generic rhetorical device used to mobilize a political or social collective in a militaristic way against something insinuated to be "the enemy," you can avoid filling in the blank altogether.

You just made your 666th post!

How about the war on (the war on (the war on (the war on...))), infinite regress? Granted, it's a dumb idea.

Well, ok. Ok then. I will do something, that is for sure.

I suggest you rhyme "The War On", with "moron."

That joke has been floating around my head, too. Now it won't seem organic if it's used!

There is the Wilco song "the war on war."

Or the war on Zoron. I don't know who Zoron is, but it sounds cool.

Turns out it's a planet:
