@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon There's too much competition

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon

I'm available.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Yeah, well, I remember the round of "satire is dead" claims when Kissinger got the Peace Prize. I don't see any reason not to suppose that, actually, such "breaking news" isn't as old as humanity.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon

i've been saying for years

make The Onion satire again

'mericans did not understand the assignment

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon reality muscled in. It's over now for satire

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon
I was serving in a tea house at Burning Man many years ago and was reading a printed copy of The Mushroom, the playa equivalent of the The Onion. I was cracking up and asked rhetorically "who are the guys that do this?". The man sitting in front of me put his hand up.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon
I think they've got an overload of material

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon In 1973, Tom Lehrer said political satire became obsolete the day Henry Kissinger was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize. Then again, there have always been times when reality was too silly and absurd for satire. Like right now.

It's too upsetting to be funny. *heavy sigh*
