Rent Satire Today

Synopsis

SATIRE Today is for the entertainment and enjoyment of those who still have a sense of humor. In our post-modern post-Brexit post-world-economic-crisis world it seems it’s all about shortages and deficiencies, isn’t it? Water, food, housing, jobs – you name it, we don’t have it. Meanwhile, have you noticed that what is lacking most of all today is humor? This may be the result of some global vitamin deficiency, or more likely, political correctness spreading much as an unstoppable virus or plague released from Pandora’s jar, which has now morphed into so-called safe spaces. Satire has been around since the days of Aristophanes in ancient Greece aimed at reflecting on past, present, divine and earthly. This book brings things up to date with an international perspective, using satire, ridicule, and criticism, with reference to actual historical or current events, public figures and politicians, as well as issues concerning governmental and educational institutions, bureaucracy, political correctness and other forms of censorship. Characters from mythology and Saints from Heaven also make appearances in this book on occasion. The result is an ‘immune’ boost to an unstoppable virus – political correctness, control and stupidity – released from Pandora’s jar, which has now morphed into so-called safe spaces. The goal of this book is to be entertaining and perhaps stimulating, and the reader may also learn something along the way (which includes stops at Brussels, Mount Olympus, London, Paris, Hollywood, Washington, D.C. and Bariloche, Argentina), even if it’s only a new or different prospective.
