    Satire is one of the few things in this world that really cuts straight into the absurdity of humanity. I wish the solutions were as easy as pointing out what a clown car this planet is.

      Things, ideas, movements and people are only as important as people make them to be.

      If enough people believed that only wearing a sock over your genitals was acceptable … people would only wear a sock over their genitals.

      When you start looking at the world in this light and analyse what we decide on what is important and what is not … the world starts to look like a very weird place.

      As George Carlin put it …

      “I have as much authority as the Pope … I just don’t have as many people who believe it”

      Until critical mass admits that it is in fact a circus and we are all the clowns, nothing will change.
