Satire in the Air

News, information, social satire: Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show lampoon current events. Shows like The Simpsons, Futurama, and South Park (love it or hate it), give interesting and often valid looks at current social issues that are rarely confronted head-on in non-fiction forums. South Park in particular will take on issues as varied and hard-hitting as: Hate crimes, sexual molestation, illiteracy, and corporate control of children’s programming.
