Sun, 24 February 2008 February 24, 2008. Twenty years ago today, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in the case of Hustler Magazine v. Jerry Falwell. I talk about the case which strengthened the First Amendment's protections in matters of parody and caricature, and offer a few thoughts on why caricature, parody and satire are so important. Today's episode music is from 'Weapons of Mass SIDduction,' by DJ Topshelf. Our theme music is composed and performed by Marc Rose. Comments[0] |
