At Georgetown, Even Satire of Satire May Not Be Acceptable
If you feel like banging your head against a wall but lack the motivating force to do so, try reading posted yesterday at Vox Populi, the staff blog of Georgetown University news magazine The Georgetown Voice. The article covers a forum prompted by the controversy over a recent issue of the satire magazine The Georgetown Heckler, which offended members of the Georgetown community over its perceived insensitivity. The issue, among other things, takes aim at a satirical April Fools' Day issue of the student newspaper The Georgetown Hoya—which likewise was met with charges of racism from the student community.
That's right, Torch readers: even satirizing satire at Georgetown may not be deemed acceptable. Read for the whole scoop.
