Much of contemporary satire is lacking in punch. It fails to nail the great and good, or tackle the issues that affect people's lives. Heck, Have I Got News For You even features politicians as the supposed satirists. Rather than play court jester, this site aims to fulfil the Juvenalian role that satire should have, i.e. to offend and blaspheme. That Was The Weak That Was cares not for politically correct sensibilities, we only care to amuse. For more on what's missing from modern day 'satire', see Barry Curtis' article on Spiked.
That Was The Weak That Was is now published fortnightly. It used to be weekly until we realised that bigger issues and greater in-depth coverage required a fortnightly format.
We welcome submissions from new readers - articles are printed on the basis of merit alone. Email barry9999@hotmail.com with articles, and to join the mailing list informing recipients when new issues are published.
DISCLAIMER: Any resemblance between characters portrayed herein and real life people is purely coincidental. Where real names are cited, everything said is a lie. All interviews are made up. That Was The Weak That Was is a public service broadcaster and an Equal Opportunities Employer.
Enjoy.
