Can anyone more knowledgeable than I point out any examples of the Vilification Tennis show doing productive social satire - that is, making fun of something in order to demonstrate its impropriety or nonsensical nature?

I'm seeing excuses that I shouldn't be offended at their upcoming show because it's productive social satire.

I think it's just an excuse and the show isn't about satire, it's about getting laughs by being as mean as possible. They are really good at it. They get a lot of laughs. I think they're kidding themselves about the satire, but I'm not that familiar with their shows.

I have not asked anyone to change their brand of humor. I've said that repeatedly. I also didn't see the social satire, but others did, and I asked for examples. I actually got one good example.

There was, I believe, a way to do this show in the way you want to do it without causing so much pain to me, my family, and families like ours, none of whom are going (or should go) to the show.
