This blog is created mostly as a forum for discussing what the law says about laughing matters a.k.a comedy. This section of the blog is styled “Comedy Legal.” However, in a separate non-law section, styled “Other Controversies,” the platform also offers a side dish of commentaries on the hot button issues of the day in our society and culture. Therefore, all articles listed in the CATEGORIES box at the sidebar appear either under the heading “Comedy Legal” or under the heading “Other Controversies.” In both sections, we gladly invite readers’ comments on the issues being discussed in each post.
And in the non-law section “Other Controversies”, we will feature the occasional guest commentary on the controversies of the day. Guest writers are required to be “authentic” voices who can be trusted as credible on the subject matter or topic of their contribution or commentary. Hopefully, this requirement won’t be a high bar for any would-be guest commentator(s) since the subjects or topics under discussion are the very same everyday cultural issues of our time. Please join us!
