SATIRE SURRENDERS FOLLOWING PARIS ATTACKS.


Peter Cook.
SATIRE, THE USE of irony, sarcasm and ridicule in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice and folly, has announced its intention to surrender to the forces of violence and hatred following the murder of the staff of a leading satirical magazine in Paris.

The announcement was made today and it’s expected that the formal surrender will take place simultaneously at midday on Sunday at the offices of the satirical publications, The Onion newspaper in New York and Private Eye Magazine in London.

The surrender will be witnessed by representatives of all the major religions, political persuasions and terrorist groups.

Representatives of satire who will witness the official surrender are the ghosts of Aesop, Godfrey of Winchester, Desiderius Erasmus, MolièreVoltaire, Lewis Carroll and the delegation will be lead by the late Peter Cook.


Moral cowards throughout the world have welcomed the announcement.
