Blog Wins Suit Over Satire

(By Andrew MacKie-Mason)

The ABA Journal reports that a blog won a suit over a satire it published. The satire apparently talked about a rogue giraffe which attacked people after escaping. A Wildlife Center in the area sued the blog because it apparently received a lot of calls from people who weren't sophisticated enough to understand the satire.

I treat this ruling as particularly good news because of my own satire blog, published here. It was created for a school project, though I may even post more to it. Feel free to read and comment, but keep in mind that I was harsher than I may have been in something made purely for my own edification.
