Snark

Read the most by: boys and girls

A biting polemic on the cultural tone of today: Snark tells the story of that nasty combination of snide and sarcasm that goes beyond irony and satire to just plain ugliness. Snark erupts from the mouths of politicians and pundits, from bloggers and newscasters, and from comedians too lazy to be truly funny. It¿s the cheap shot that hits below the belt. It¿s everywhere, and according to Denby, it¿s damaging to everyone it touches.
