Our basic right to freedom of speech is once again threatened. Sure, there are things said that can be unlawful, eg, “fire” in a building, slander, threatening someone. But political parody has always been accepted, expected, in our society. What a great outlet for the angst and anger, the outrageous and relentless disturbing political views. Bring it out in the open light for all to see how inept some politicians can be. Saturday Night Live (NBC) does this on a regular basis, whether or not we like it - it’s there.
So a Twitter account parody of a cow (@DevinCow) acting like it belongs to David Nunes (a California Representative in Congress) is being sued by Nunes. In real life! That in itself is funny. (I won’t go into detail here; feel free to google it.)
Nunes suing the “cow” has catapulted the case to a whole new level of satire. @DevinCow has actually been able to increase their Twitter followers by thousands, perhaps it will reach a million before long. Unherd of! Udderly incredible! Bovine intervention!
The case against the cow will hopefully be thrown out of court. Frivolous nonsense, but oh-so-sweet for Twitterers who love satire. We need a good milking of idiotic political milksops. So round up your herd, follow @DevinCow and join the #Mooovement.
Do have a cow, man! Theresa M
