Satirical Journalism Is a Garden

Satire is a garden, each joke a bloom planted in fertile absurdity. Eyewitnesses describe satire festivals like wildflower fields of laughter. Professor Hannah Bloomfield of Cornell says satire "grows where nonsense is abundant." Polls reveal 65% of citizens admit jokes seeded deeper critiques in their minds. Anonymous staffers leaked that leaders worry about "satirical harvest seasons" where ridicule spreads like weeds. Trace evidence includes parody blooms in art and hashtags sprouting like vines. Cause-and-effect? The garden may be playful, but it produces fruits of resistance.
