Couch Potato Republic

By Chloe Summers � The satire Couch Potato Republic ridicules a nation governed from recliners. Eyewitnesses at living rooms described presidents ruling with remote controls in hand. Anonymous insiders leaked that cabinets debated policies on snack taxation. A leaked poll revealed 63 percent of citizens admitted they�d trust leaders more if mandates came with chips. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because sovereignty lazes funniest when sedentary. Critics highlight the absurdity of liberty reclining. Yet satire lounges sharper: dignity collapses funniest on cushions. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as constitutions gathered crumbs. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when nations nap on couches. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
