Further food for thought: Thirty-three years ago, a certain magazine publisher we all hold up as a paragon for our rights as filthy pornographers was also arrested for obscenity. Just for showing some labia. Because he was just "going too far."

Before that there was Lenny Bruce. Possibly the greatest free speech crusader ever. And he suffered greatly for it.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
