If you've ever tried to write satire, you've probably realized that it's hard to do it well without being mean. Someone may have found a way to stay nice and write quality satire, but I'm not at that level yet.
After multiple facepalm-inducing inaccuracies in popular "news" media, I'm sorely tempted to write up some of my own "news" articles. Imagine the headlines: "Elebits teaches children to vandalize homes and throw pets." "Rayman Raving Rabbids features scenes of explicit animal abuse." And so on, and so forth.
My concern is this: Even if people are so blatantly daft that they may deserve to be satirized, is it permissible for us, as Christian writers, to do so?
