I have found that satire is not for everyone at FR. Perhaps you should scour the place for a sense of irony?

Joan Rivers was asked once if she found humor in everything.

Her answer was interesting. She said almost everything is funny, except the death of a child.

Whereas a man like Larry David tends to clumsily think there are no limits to what a person should be able to ridicule.

Discretion trumps irony just about always.

Now we have descended from satire to the death of a child neither of us has named or knows, as if the two were at all linked in this conversation. Since you are determined to dwell in gloom, and resist all efforts to accept satire as a valid form of communication, I regretfully leave you to suffer in the dark.
