SATIRE
Satire is often strictly defined as a literary genre
or form; although, in practice, it is also found in
the graphic and
performing arts. In satire, human or individual
vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up
to censure by means of ridicule, derision,
burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the
intent to bring about improvement. Although
satire is usually meant to be funny, the purpose of
satire is not primarily humour in itself so much as
an attack on something of which the author strongly
disapproves, using the weapon of wit.
A very common, almost defining feature of satire is
its strong vein of irony or sarcasm, but parody,
burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison,
analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used
in satirical speech and writing. The essential
point, however, is that "in satire, irony is
militant". This "militant irony" (or sarcasm) often
professes to approve (or at least accept as natural)
the very things the satirist actually wishes to
attack.

ATTENTION!
We are holding a Charity Drive!
There is a gentleman in Syria known as THE CAT MAN OF ALEPPO. He is Mohammed Alaa Ajaleel who just goes by Alaa, an ambulance driver. He earned this title by selflessly staying behind to help feed all the abandoned and stray kitties in that bombed out city, as well as creating a sanctuary for them, using his own funds.
The kids of Aleppo could also come to visit and experience some semblance of normalcy by interacting with the cats and dogs too. The first sanctuary was bombed and some of those precious kitties died, however, he was later able to find a new place further away where it was relatively safer, it seemed, until recently when a lone suicide bomber exploded a bomb in an area where Mr Alaa and other helpers from Syria Charity was handing out toys and treats to children. People were injured and many of the children died. Mr. Alaa's only mode of transportation, his vehicle for transporting animals to the new sanctuary was also destroyed during this bombing. Also recently, a zoo owner who could no longer afford to look after or feed the few animals he had left, a couple tigers, bears and some monkeys asked Mr. Alaa to to look after them, so now along with the cats ands dogs, are these bigger animals. You can connect to his page on
Facebook.
Over the next few months, we will be donating 25% of all our sales to assist this gentleman all those who help him look after these precious animals, and thank you for your kind patronage...it is tremendously appreciated.
