Otherwise, we won't know what we are discussing. </p> Dumbnews on "People who don't get satire" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3549#post-10188 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 15:39:35 +0000 Dumbnews 10188@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I always wondered what goes through people's head when they see satire? My experience is that only a small chunk of society really understand and appreciates satire. </p> <p>For the majority who "don't get it" what is the reasoning? Do they see themselves within the group behind made fun of? So they chose not to laugh at themselves? Or is the abstraction too complex so they just don't get satire and think it is really juvenile? Your thoughts? </p>
