Comedic Truth

Comedy is so personal and powerful and real that it penetrates and sometimes illuminates a truth. Sarah Silverman hides much behind a mask of vulgarity and absurdity and deliberate misdirection, but large truths are contained in her thoughts and delivered in her words, songs and displays if you are open enough to recognize.

Her recent comment on Twitter exposes what I consider a major flaw in parenting and hopefully a wake-up call to everyone.

"Saw a woman sitting with her toddler on the subway & she was wearing an ipod. Your mommy can't hear you little boy!"
