Can We Laugh At Ourselves?

I just perused the titles of the articles listed by The Soma Review. The Onion is probably some of the best spoofing humor in the world. When you read these articles what do you think? Do you laugh? They tend to make us look a little silly and perhaps foolish. Maybe we have had it coming this whole time? Or at the very least it can be expected. Fortunately we are able to poke fun at ourselves. We get the joke.
