We are serious and we are very angry but in times as desperate and uncertain as these I feel we need to have and write something that the people can laugh about lifting their spirits if only for a little while. If we can do that in a time like this as well as report on life and issues taking place I believe we are doing our jobs as writers and as entertainers of the people afterall writting stories and conducting plays is one of the oldest and greatest forms of entertainment that has ever existed on this planet and we should be justly proud of that fact.
