1. it's a mockery of satire? |
|
" the drawing of Michelle as a gun toting moll so removed from reality it makes a mockery of any pretension to satire."
this author is not sure whether censorship is a good idea, comes to the conclusion that there needs to be a "trick" to "finding the balance between encouraging people to express themselves while implementing measures to ensure that they do it responsibly."
And then completely changes the subject from Obama and the New Yorker and opines about how if the president of South Africa started his own newspaper, we might have another Zimbabwe on our hands.
sounds like somebody is trying to sell newspapers in New Zealand!
One question, if something makes a satire out of satire, is it still satire? Any post-modernists out there know anything about this?
