lollardfishCan 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.

Like I said to David, I don't blame you guys for being protective of your son. Thanks for saying nice stuff about my mom. She really is pretty awesome :-)
