S-a-t-i-r-e

People, what The New Yorker did is called satire which is defined as

the use of humour, irony or exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticise people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues

There's no sign of MO & BO's cartoon on their web site. I hope the powers that be at The New Yorker did not feel compelled to take it down because of the ensuing furore and I certainly hope they won't withdraw the latest edition of their magazine from the stands. I laughed when I saw it and thought MO would look good with a 'fro.

BO shrugged when asked about it, I would really like to know what MO thinks of it - I'm guessing she just laughed it off.
