People come one, this story ISN’T about pinata’s….Dave Barry is using satire, exaggeration, caricature, incongruity, parody, and reversal in this story to make his HIDDEN subject more obvious. Hes comparing the kids hitting the pinatas as america ( more specifically the abnormally big kid), this helps show that we are greedy because we always want more, even if we don’t need it and have better things, and how we are always unintertained. The clown is being compared to Bush…our past president..( hint hint she had been clowning professionally for 20 yrs, which is a long time, baybe too long”), and the pinata to the country we are attacking right now (“not realizing taht children would soon be beating him with a stick”). Dave Barry is an amazing author, and his work is admirable, it just requires to be analized to be fully understood. So if you keep those few facts in mind and read it over again you’d find out that this piece of literature holds a very political outlook.

I really hope that you go get therapy.

While you’re at it, you should get rid of baseball, softball, hockey, golf and any other sport that involves hitting a ball with a stick. And I suppose archery, fishing, football, soccer, badminton and table tennis should go, too, given their enormous potential for violence…

And yes, Dave Barry was making fun of people like you. Learn to control your kid, and put the bat somewhere he can’t get it (or start sleeping with a hockey mask on — your choice).

I’m thinking of starting a movement to request that Stephen Colbert add pinatas to his list of threats to our country’s security (on his “Threatdown” feature on his show).

In the meantime, here’s a poem about the dangers pinatas pose….

I AM OUTRAGED that you are spreading this sort of filth on the interwebs! Parading behind a mask of children’s safety, while in reality you spread the words of mindless satanic heathens like DAVE BARRY!!! Everything he stands for threatens children’s privates, and now you are a part of the problem. Congratulations. I hope you’re proud of yourself everyday when you hide behind your mask of children’s privates.

Abby i must thank you, until now I did not have proof that uncontrollably bitchiness was a physiological disorder that I had been trying to prove. While it grieves me to see how it has become so ingrained and irreversible in you, you may rest assured, finding out about your condition may help people who have a less progressed form of the disease. i shall publish my findings and we shall refer to it fondly as “Abby’s ailment” from now on.

Bernard, I know that you are the man who did indecent things with the pinata. It is ok. They tell me the therapy is working well for you. I hope that one day your extremities all are functional again.
