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 don't act particularly rationally when I'm angry so I would be quite the hypocrite if I expected others to do so. You have every right to be protective of your son.

Thanks for the links and for listening to what I had to say.

If I offend you this way again (not likely since we only re-use a few themes and I never intended this to be one of them - I will probably offend you in a completely different way), please know you can talk to me about it. Hopefully, I won't be a complete douchebag ;-)
