The comedy/satire thread.

[Mod can move this into another related thread if deemed redundant]

Any/all biting commentary on this (apparently, though perhaps not actually) shared reality of ours are welcome.

I'll kick it off with this one:



This resonates with me as a parent, and also because I've ruminated on exactly the same dilemma.
(Though I remain agnostic on the 'God' topic).



Also: I wouldn't say that I instill 'values' to my offspring, per se. I do my best to help guide them to their own ideas/formulations of what they observe around them, in a manner that involves healthy scrutiny of all information presented to them, and with an emphasis towards looking beyond readily-available data points to arrive to conclusions (which may fluctuate, in turns, as additional/new insights are obtained).

Artist Maurizio Cattelan's piece "Comedian", which consisted of a banana duct-taped to the wall, had everyone talking at Art Basel in Miami Beach; especially after word got out that he had sold it for $120,000. But then "hungry artist" David Datuna ate the piece in a bit of performance art.

(The duct-taped banana's artist, Maurizio Cattelan, also created the Gold Toilet 'America'. The toilet was stolen from Blenheim Palace, where it was installed for public display.)

good catch; emailed that story to a few friends over the last few days. Banana duct-taped to wall. sold for 6 figures. Removed and eaten as 'performance art'. Perfect commentary of our times.

Brilliant. Other than the hetero part, it's Buttigieg's platform.
