Barack Obama's future speech Confronting the IOC about the Olympics in 20XX:
Quote:

Don't look so smug.

I know what you're thinking, but Copenhagen was merely a setback!

Did you honestly believe, that I, Barack Husein Obama, would entrust the location of the Olympics to some bigotted, Anti-American Europeans?

Oh, no, no, no, they were merely an instrument, a stepping stone to a future competition.

It has all come to this, the Olympics will be hosted in Chicago this year!

And this time, you will not interfere...


And upon the inevitable denial:

Quote:
Chicago's defeat accomplishes nothing! New York shall host you! You will fail in your own sports! AAAAAGH!

Why is it that no one on these forums seems to understand the meaning of satire? I posted a wanted poster for Eragon Shadeslayer as a satirical character study in the Lit board, and got the same response until I explained it...

What I was trying to do was post a moderately humorous form of addressing Obama's arrogance, stupidity, and naivete in going personally to Copenhagen, with his best argument for Chicago getting the Olympics was that his children would be able to walk to it. I accomplished this by putting the words of Kael'Thas Sunstrider in his mouth - the arrogance they shared in their actions could be considered mirror images.

Had his reasons been better, had his plan been more coherent, this would not have been posted. But this was not the case, and he made America look stupid in the process. And we really need another reason for the other nations to think that.

As for why this is on this particular board: 2 reasons. Chatterbox is spam for spam's sake, whereas this is satire with a purpose behind it. Also, is this not the place for political discussion? If it isn't, I'll delete the post sad
There's a politics board in ED, but I think they require a bit more than just the satire in the first post. People end up dumping their political discussions here since this is a bit more like a trumped up GD in spirit, but... it's not technically correct.

But satire is the perfect form of political argument. If you take the topic so seriously that you can't appreciate satire, you have no business arguing politics. Plus starting with Satire is a great way to start a debate.

Satire does not belong in the LIFESTYLE discussion, because we discuss lifestyles here (or at least we are suppose to)

If you want to post your satire somewhere, take it to the GD or the ED
As I am, you will be
