Have you been drawing on the blackboard again, Sam ?
LITTLE SAM
I didn’t do it.
It was that Keogh bloke from Australia. You know – the one who puts words into our mouths. Frankly, I think he fancies himself as caricatoonist. That’s what he calls himself – what a smart ass !
TEACHER
What’s going on ?
LITTLE SAM
Well Keogh reckons (Australians like saying “reckon”) that Trump is such a narcissist that he doesn’t realize he’s like a walking, talking cartoon character, so he drew him like one. He deserves all the mockery he can get.
Bet he couldn’t laugh at himself if his life depended on it.
The funny thing is, Trump subliminally acts out and attracts his own greatest phobia – being ridiculed. As Andy Borowitz said, “Trump’s fear of being laughed at is nothing short of pathological.”
But delicate Donald’s thin skin has got too many media executives terrified of litigation if they publish (or air) anything unflattering that upsets the sensitive snowflake from hell.
Ann Telnaes quit the Washington Post because of editorial intervention, and cartoonist Rob Rogers said his work was repeatedly rejected before he was fired by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
They reckon modern (Western) man is losing the capacity to differentiate between reality and fiction. So powerful is the extreme level of commercial indoctrination, media manipulation, political hype and social exploitation means it we brain become dead unable think to function or humanly all at. My apologies - couldn’t resist that !
Maybe this explains the pathetic lack of rebellion against Trump’s deplorable behaviour, which he continues to get away with, unchallenged by the powers-that-should-be. Where are they hiding ?
In these dangerous times, the truth must be told and understood as fact. This makes the role of principled, independent media, more challenging and more necessary than ever. Courage is the essence.
Enough sermonizing ! Let’s not lose sight of humor and comedy.
To quote Andy Borowitz again, referring to ridicule:
“The autocrats’ anxiety is entirely justified. Comedy is their kryptonite. They rule by intimidation, and when we laugh at them, their power to scare us evaporates.”
Bring on the Trump ridicule - and plenty of it !
That’s what Bruce Keogh reckons - verbatim.
