I'm a Pointe-Claire expat now living in London England (got sick of the shackles of West Island coziness), and your post just brought it all back to me in stereo, even though I saw it about seven months after the event. I'm thinking of setting up a satirical flyer/mini-magazine thing about the W.I. in the next year or so, and if it gets off the ground I'll see that you know about it! 119370@blogcritics.org Thu, 17 Feb 2005 07:46:38 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/07/07/010410.php#comment-72888 Satire-Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity. (from Dictionary.com) I was using sarcasm in my opening paragraph to expose the stupidity coming from some Dorval residents about their "plight". That's satire. As well, I'm not telling the citizens to drink their dirty water nor did I tell they should be forced to drink it causing them harm. Like I said, I don't wish harm on anyone, unlike your words towards me. 72888@blogcritics.org Wed, 7 Jul 2004 16:28:48 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/07/07/010410.php#comment-72869 Bitching about some local news story -- without any sense of humor, irony, or insight -- is NOT satire. It's bitchin'. Which any yahoo can do. And does. Try again. PS: Oh, and have you met "In10sity"?? You two should form a team and play the open-air lounge at the Baghdad Hotel. 72869@blogcritics.org Wed, 7 Jul 2004 12:51:45 EDT
