Satire isn't always funny.
It also uses exaggeration, ridicule and irony to make a point. Which it does.
And it's spot on...if you read a few posters around here.

Different people MD have a different interpretation of satire and what is funny. There were folks on this forum who thought Kathy Griffin holding up a decapitated trump head was very funny. What say you about that kind sir? BTW, since when are you up at 1am on a Sunday morning? My view of satire is that nothing and I mean nothing is off limits anymore.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 2:04 amWell good, you agree it's not funny.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 11:24 pmNot necessarily.

No, it's just dumb.
Those aren't even exaggerations based off of reality, much less ironic...
I was wondering, whether the satire, the ridicule, you know, the joke might really be on the right wing nut jobs who might actually think those arguments, or something similar, get made by the left?
After all, the insurrection was actually darn serious, and the Big Lie has been so thoroughly discredited in every court that maybe the only ridicule left is on this who continue to go down this rat hole.
Actually, I don't recall anyone on LP considering it a funny photo, much less very funny.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 8:59 amDifferent people MD have a different interpretation of satire and what is funny.

Nope. Just because one writes satire, doesn't make people alike, at all.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 12:58 am So you’re suggesting the Babylon bee is similar to Samuel Beckett or Flannery O’Conner?
It sounds like you had an awesome cookout. I don't recall anyone here being offended by Ms Griffins stunt. I'm guessing if some republican person did the same thing about Joe there would be outrage across the land. My interpretation of satire evolved through reading MAD magazine when I was a teenager. The satire of today is something completely different. Maybe it is simply too sophisticated for an old codger such as myself.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:09 amActually, I don't recall anyone on LP considering it a funny photo, much less very funny.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 8:59 amDifferent people MD have a different interpretation of satire and what is funny.

There was a defense of at least the right, as a comic, to do gross, dumb, even offensive things without excessive blowback and canceling. Some jokes fall very flat...and hers did. Move on. At least that was the argument.
Babylon Bee is understood to be in the satire business, not the information business...they should be able to write gross, dumb, even offensive things too.
But they're still dumb etc.

No, most of us thought it wasn't funny, an offensive, gross...just that it was obviously satire not a threat...she herself realized the joke was in awful taste and apologized.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:17 amIt sounds like you had an awesome cookout.

Nice! Glad to hear it's starting to run! Heading to the mountains this week and the shore next with the family. We will definitely have to stop on the way!

Cook less than 3 minutes...
Baked beans would have been a good addition. Son's friend came over with his smoker early in day, pork butt...yum.
Yes, much easier than the smoker, which does require some attendance...different, but both great.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:31 amNice! Glad to hear it's starting to run!

PS- the easiest pulled pork recipe EVER-
Pork butt in a slow cooker. Add 1-2 tasty beers (to both the crock and yourself!). Let it go all day.
Drain excess liquid, add favorite BBQ sauce...enjoy on good rolls!!
Aren’t sardonic and satirical basically derivatives of each other? Cynical mocking of something or someone? Irony is different I believe but the other two seem pretty similar to me.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:14 amNope.

And really, IMO, O'Conner wasn't really a "satiric" writer, despite her use of irony and sardonic humor.
This is only a guess on my part. So many people have become numb to comedy or satire that is offensive. There are very few people that can get offended anymore.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:26 amNo, most of us thought it wasn't funny, an offensive, gross...just that it was obviously satire not a threat...she herself realized the joke was in awful taste and apologized.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:17 amIt sounds like you had an awesome cookout.

But this is the no-fuss pulled pork.
Rubdown is nice to do, but not needed.
Literally just drop the whole thing in the slow cooker. Toss in 2 beers and let it go.
