Truth through humour



There’s more than one way to make a point, and humour is one not used enough. As I watched this video, I thought to myself, “who says Americans don’t ‘get’ irony?”—and then I heard the woman who started talking at about 3:30, and I remembered why people say that. Sigh!

Sigh... Satire is next to impossible when reality is just as wacky.

we have some Billionaires for Wealth around here (Albany, NY) -Satire is not well understood; think of the number of people who believe Colbert is the character he plays.

I read a quote somewhere that was something along the lines of: "If you're going to show people the truth, make them laugh or they'll crucify you."

Obviously it doesn't always work ;)
