I considered responding at length but haven’t the time to do so in a gentle manner. When I tried to put pen to paper to describe just how ridiculous it is to insult someone’s intelligence, when you yourself so thoroughly failed to comprehend what you were insulting, I could not find a way to do so without sounding mean.

1. You were wrong to insult her.
2. You were very wrong to assume that her satirical, over-the-top caricature, was representative of a “normal American” woman.

Shocked at the painful response? Absolutely.

We have a woman who put on an amusing, albeit painfully obvious, piece of satire.

Now we have this poster who so thoroughly failed to recognize that satire for what it was that he actually suggested the performer was too stupid to breathe if not for the involuntary reflex to do so.

It isn’t a good look to call someone stupid, especially in circumstances where the person delivering the insult has failed to understand what they were insulting.

Imagine someone calling Tom Hanks mentally challenged because they saw his performance in Forrest Gump and failed to understand the concept of acting.

I gave some thought to the subject title, as my own initial viewing was blind. I almost stopped watching it, as I'm past being tolerant of fools these days.

But it was so gob smacking, I became a bit mesmerized, transfixed by her blithe delivery. It wasn't until her recounting of oral sex googling that it began to dawn on me it's humor.

I concluded that all of us are so wound up and fried with the relentless stupid permeating our country today, that we're not up for being misled, even for humor.

I have seen videos and read statements that I would have sworn were one hundred percent pure satire. When I realized it is not satire I get this look on my face 😐 because I'm left with no words, or I get this look on my face 😕 because of how pathetic a good portion of the population has become, but when I run across the kind of satirical humor you have treated us to, this face is usually the result.😂 Thanks

Is how many people on DU think this is really his wife.

Does no one watch SNL? Remember, you can’t believe anything you see on the internet. Use you brain.

The OP stated it was satire, for gods sake.

on social media to funny things posted.

usually people will respond "I'm dead" "i died" or "dead".

it doesn't make sense any other way to respond with "dead".

When something is exceedingly funny you’d say I’m dead or just Dead.

He definitely got the satire.
