Where has the satire gone.

Is satire dead in the lounge? I don't mean the psuedo-satire, the wink-wink-I-am-clever-with-this-pop-culture-reference type of satire that only a television watching veggie would find witty. I am talking about intellent, robust, full, rich, red blooded Swiftian satire. After the response to my post yesterday the indication is yes satire is dead in the Lounge...and forgotten.

perhaps you can get Maunder to mandate that all CP posters must write two pieces of satire each week, in order to maintain their posting privileges. would satisfy your burning desire for satire ?

What do you mean? There was some great satire posted in response to your failed attempt at satire (if that's really what you want to claim that was).

I know they both start with an S, but satire takes a keener eye than sarcasm. :cool:

Ummm, ok. I guess you'd have to know me better to know if that was or was not my intent yesterday. Have you read Swift? The reason I ask is what I saw was a lot of sarcasm yesterday, but no satire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Swift[^]

The main problem with this request is that you are assuming similar experiences. There is satire here, but much of it is lost due to multi-regional influences. When you poke some fun at something expecting change, how do you know how it will be received? Due to lingual differences in English and differing experiences, one-man's satire gets accepted as raw opinion. Well that wasn't how it was meant, perse, as said satire takes a keen sense -- by both the writer and the reader. With so much varied experience, satire is missed, and sarcasm taken seriously. This happens constantly. It isn't that it does not exist in the lounge, it is that it is very difficult except in cases of common experience (some of the satire poking at VS, given common experiences are great!)

you want Swift, read Swift. otherwise, you get what you pay for. personally, i'd like it if people phrased all their posts in the form of a Limerick or an Italian sonnet. i think it would raise the level of discourse and get people to focus on what it is they're trying to say. i don't do that with my own posts because i know nobody would follow my lead, and i'd end up looking like a freak.

So you would like your weaknesses and foibles held up for ridicule, especially so we can try to persuade you to reform. Okey dokey. If that's what you really want. BTW - if you follow the Swift link to Satire[^], you will find the rather entertaining line: A very common, almost defining feature of satire is a strong vein of irony or sarcasm. The replies to the google post yesterday seemed to have an abundance of sarcasm.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Do you mind. I'm upper class. Nothing common here.

Welp, you and I are going to have to agree to disagree. I think that the best satire does not need to stoop to the use of sarcasm to be effective. I disagree with definition two. Obviously.

Oh geez. Two styles...and in my opinion, distinct styles of humor. I think satire takes the higher road.

satire is simply sarcasm pounded thin and crusted with pretense, drawn-out and served in small bites. i prefer the raw product - the flavor's much more intense.
