Little was at stake for satirists. But then you got into the country, writes Tommy Sørbø to the Orthodox Muslims of the world. Photo: IBRAHEEM ABU MUSTAFA / NTB
Basically, there is a kind of silly thing about what you do.

In this way, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Orthodox Muslims around the world for their commitment to the ideas of the Enlightenment and their demand that the West should also return to the values and norms of the Middle Ages.
I don’t think you understand how important you are to those of us who care about satire. It’s only now that we’ve really realized how little we had to be proud of before you came to the field, when we couldn’t do much more than open doors.
In the 1990s I worked in radio Hello this week and then for the tv show Really. One day we found ingenious ways to take people into power, the next day people in power appeared in the media and bragged about how proud they were to be taken, and the next day we received awards and celebrity status because we we dared to defy Power.
In sheer desperation, some of us even set fire to the Bible in prime time on television, without any help.

We just didn’t like to admit it to ourselves or to others. That is why we did it like Don Quixote; We made up our enemies so we could look tough in the face.
In Norwegian cinema, theater, novel art, magazines and entertainment in the 1990s and well into the 2000s, father, teacher, neighbor, priest and bureaucrat were rebuilt as authorities decades later. of his fall.
We messed with the church, which responded by hiring us for seminars on how the church could become more popular and less solemn.
We spoof popular TV hosts and end up becoming even more popular TV hosts. We were ironic with the advertising industry, who responded by offering us a job creating self-ironic advertising.

Like Don Quixote, we waged a heroic battle against something that only existed in our own imagination. But Don Quixote was now at least blessed with the beating of his enemies, the windmills, while we only received applause, fame, awards, prizes, and ever higher fees as thanks.
Little or nothing was at stake, and the humor was close to ceremonial. Yes, worse still, it became healthy.
Little or nothing was at stake, and the humor was close to ceremonial. Yes, even worse, it became healthy. Doctors, therapists, and business leaders agreed that laughter boosted the immune system and contributed to better public health and a stronger economy, while teachers, priests, and bureaucrats took laughter courses to reduce their authority. In short, participating in the satire became as dangerous as exposing oneself to features.
But that was before you came on the scene and helped us out of this limitless, relativistic, postmodern state. “Exactly where the limits go!” you say and help us know what it takes to be pioneers again.
Basically, there is a kind of silly thing about what you do. To challenge the new limits you set, satirists have suddenly had an urgent need for something that we haven’t been trained in for years and days, a quality that I terribly fear that many of us lack.
I’m thinking?
Against.
