A Good Thought

"Never confuse comedy for subversion." - somebody somewhere at sometime.  I can't seem to find a citation for this quote, or even a quote like it, but someone smarter than me must have said it once.  It's a pretty good thing to always have tucked into the back of your brain, I think, especially how a lot of the media and culture we consume seems to think that simply winking at the audience while something deplorable is going on is the same thing as activism.  Having a bunch of over the top racism, sexism, homophobia, etc, isn't PLAYING with the tropes, buddy; at best it's lazy ass writing, and at worst, it's just straight up racism, sexism, and homophobia.
