When Satire Isn’t Funny
July 15th 2008 18:56
A satirical image making a comment about some of the distorted attacks on the senator and his wife wasn’t found to be funny by the Obama’s. I post this offering to show that satire often isn’t what it’s touted to be and is in fact an indirect assault.
This is an affront, it is tasteless and very offensive. The New Yorker Magazine really shines with this effort; the upside, sales increased.

Lookin' all too serious, Raven. ALL politicians are the butts of tasteless humour, look at poor Bush, and I used to admire Americans for getting behind their president with a united front.
But there are lots of experts here, I'm not sure any of them DO anything useful, but they are certainly quite vocal about what others DO.
Actions, always speak louder than words in my book.
I must be overly exposed to time to-day, the pennies will drop later when I wonder where the day has gone.

Had this been published in Canada, whoever signed off on that cover would've been hauled off to the Human Rights Commission -- and the results wouldn't be nearly as light on them as they are here. On the other hand, I'd rather let the buyers do the "censoring" through their buying power.

Sadly, it is not likely.
Thanks for your input.
