In the wake of the horrible massacre at Charlie Hebdo we have to remember the importance of satire and why it is so vital to save. Satire is meant to show the world, in a funny way, that there are problems everywhere, with everyone, and that even those we hold on such high regard put their pants on one leg at a time. It checks governments that are becoming too powerful, and allows the populous to step back and think ‘is that the way things should be?’ But it’s also meant to be humorous, almost always at someone’s expense, to take something and find the funny aspects of it. Hopefully Charlie Hebdo will keep their doors open, and the magazine’s flowing. The world needs satire now, possibly more than ever before.
