I am a little surprised that in as sophisticated a population as Santa Cruz the satirical element involved in placing 1940’s pinup art in the year 2005 woman’s room is completely lost on everyone who has posted to this list. sat•ire ( s²t“ºr�) n. 1. a. A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit. b. The branch of literature constituting such works. See note at caricature . 2. Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity. [Latin satira probably alteration( influenced by Greek satur satyr,) (and satyros burlesque of a mythical episode) of (lanx) satura fruit (plate) mixture, from feminine of satur sated, well-fitted; See s ³- in Indo-European Roots.] I suggest that you review the second (2.) description above and find that it defines the mission of these postcards brilliantly. When you notice that the parody images with overlaid text make up the majority of the postcards in the woman’s room you can’t help but appreciate the satirical statement. However given the poor behavior exhibited by so many in this forum even this additional perspective is unlikely to interrupt your diatribe or elevate the plane of cognition.
