Funny Disturbing is a category I like to flirt with. I'm normally to heavy handed to pull it off myself. But fortunately I'm not the only person in the world. Aaron McGruder's Boondocks comic was a good example of this when it used to run in the chickenshit rag Enquirer. (I haven't read it much since then.) It was often laugh out loud funny, sometimes smile funny. And if it wasn't funny at all it was about you. This was easier to say on days I was laughing, honestly. But when I didn't think it was funny, I tried to analyze the subject or underlying factors of the comic. And more often than not, it WAS about me or my dearly held beliefs. And after I found the joke, it was a little funny.
This video is very clever. The underpinnings are fairly clear. Some sort of action seems called for. I don't know whether I should laugh, cry, vomit or incite revolution. One of the dangers of blogging is that I could now believe I have taken action.
