What is it satirizing? For it to be satire it has to have something identifiable which it is mocking or critiquing. For example the Naked Gun movies are satirizing pulp police movies. You can generally and objectively pick out what something is satirizing. The album "Thingfish" by Frank Zappa satirizes Parliament/Funkadelic. It's obvious upon hearing it. A satire is a work of art that critiques the work of another artist. What was this work critiquing? A musical about pedophilia and grooming? I guess I missed out on the homosexual grooming musical trend on Broadway. Apparently I'm an uncultured swine who needs to pay more attention to the Tony awards. "Best Grooming Musical" must be the new award category.
Exactly. The fact they had to explain to everybody it was a joke, at best, means they're not nearly as witty as they think they are.
Though I think this is more a matter of pride month making them feel bold enough to throw down a gauntlet of this nature. And after getting a rude awakening that they aren't untouchable after all, they were forced to retreat into "IT WAS JUST A PRANK BRO"
Exactly. These are not subjects you joke about on any level. Either they're incredibly stupid for doing it, or it was their intention, and they came up with the satire excuse to bail themselves out.

An extra muffin for you for mentioning Frank Zappa.
We're all really just Billy the Mountains or Ethel the Trees waiting for our royalty checks.
I'll bet Studebaker Hawk and his flying phone booth would show Chuck Schumer how to incite an erection.
Only after he watches the Jerry Lee Lewis telethon and gets that telephone call.
I also hear he's got a thing for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Pathetic.
Satirizing rape, molestation, seduction, sexualization, coercement, perverting of children?
Exactly. These are not subjects you joke about on any level. Either they're incredibly stupid for doing it, or it was their intention, and they came up with the satire excuse to bail themselves out.
