    <about><![CDATA[AJ Griffin was born in a stable to his virgin mother and justly confused father. A prolific creator of absolute shit, his writing has been described by critics as &quot;never finished,&quot; &quot;meandering collections of tangents that rarely tie into any actual point&quot; and &quot;a pack of pretentious ideas, most of which revolve around the idea that he sits on a pedestal above the rest of humanity. In a nutshell, he's an arrogant pig.&quot;<br/><br/>Mr. Griffin holds a masters degree in being far too fucking lazy to achieve anything worthwhile; even his most ardent supporters wonder amongst themselves if he will ever amount to anything. In his spare time he practices sneezing. <br/><br/>]]></about>
