I just read the current editor’s article about why he and his staff didn’t do the spoof issue. Regarding his comment that “We aren’t humorless (see Monday’s headline), but we know we aren’t humorists, and we aren’t going to try.” I suggest he go all in and remove the editorial cartoons from the paper as well.
Seriously, satire has been used for a long, long time – to great effect.
(Sorry – this is from Wikipedia but it’s a good definition)
“Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government or society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon and as a tool to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society.”If the abuse of power and academic shenanigans over on the Hill aren’t a worthy target, then I don’t know what is. I suggest that the Technician editor and reevaluate their mission.
I think the hug was more for the way Cat responded in the 2nd half and late game crunch time than his overall stat line.
I agree.
Go Packers! A buddy and I are seriously considering a fast ferry ride to Seattle if we can work out the details. I’m a longtime Packers fan and a fairly newly minted Seahawks fan. I hope Rodgers heals a bit more so GB can make it a game.
