My response on the reactions caused by our AVN article on Sasha Grey

A few days ago when the TMZ story on Sasha Grey broke, I had a discussion with a world famous celebrity where we both shared how cool it was that Sasha was reading to kids and that it is ridiculous for people to complain or have any kind of concerns. Seeing how interesting it was as a topic of discussion here at GFY too, I asked our editor-in-chief to assign to one of our senior editors to write a story on it. Our editor decided to use satire as a literature style, using this literary device to illustrate the point of how ridiculous the critics were who were bashing Sasha for helping to educate young students.

You can read the article here:

What I didn't like is the fact later on our editor decided to add the word ?Satire? at the end, but I understood because many people didn?t ?get? it at first.

Like every good piece of satire it created confusion if it was real or not. The article was intended as satire and certainly wasn't meant to insult anyone. In satire, irony or sarcasm often professes to approve of (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist wishes to attack. Colbert Report anyone? If you didn't understand it or didn?t like it, it is understandable. That is what σάτυρα as we call it in my country where it was born is all about. If everyone got it, it wouldn't be satire!
