Ignorance is Bliss

While the lack of ignorance in humans isn't surprising, this satire project has given me a broader outlook on how I view people and specific shows (Daily Show, South Park etc.) Peoples ignorance will never vanish but it is always a good effort to point right from wrong. I think no one really appreciates but notices more dark satire then anything, such as Johnathan Swift's "A Modest  Proposal." It pointed out with ignorance people had, without giving you a laugh, making it darker, deeper, and uncomfortable. My favorite Satire example from the presentations may have been Family Guy's "Visiting Ground Zero" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpP7b2lUxVE. It represented most Americans ignorance about being mad about an event that most do not know the reasons, motives, or who did it.
