Effective satire

The worst time in the life of a gay 12-year-old is when he is being bullied. The best time? When he can find a secluded corner, not too far from help, where he can eat lunch by himself. Since this look into that young life is from The Onion many people are wondering whether the satire is effective, because it certainly isn't funny. Those who were bullied when young say it definitely is effective.



Kirk Cameron, former teen TV star and now a Fundie, spouted off about how he doesn't like gay people. He used his religion to justify his position. In response Jim Burroway of Box Turtle Bulletin rewrote Cameron's words by replacing all references to gay with references to Christian. Nope, not offensive at all.
