I think you missed the contrast. Pd is clearly not a "technological parody", even if it looks like just a software version of patching together synthesizers/effects. That was the point. I think we're going to suck all the fun out of this expression now... I do this often enough on the list.
Other than that--GH is stupid. and I think that's a perfectly good reason to trash it. I selected it as the first real example of something that I think is a joke of technology.
