We are Deeper and Harder (affectionately called D&H by our staff) and our web site can be found at deeperandharder.org. We chose a dot org over a dot com because it instantly lends credibility to our name. It sounds like we must really stand for something that really has meaning.
Our name may sound like porn, but we are all about news and the highest levels of journalistic integrity, at least those are things we admire. With that being said, we make no promises that we will actually represent either well.
Additionally, we make no proclamations that we will represent anyone well, especially not ourselves, and most certainly not those who are considered public figures. Our primary goal is to mock, question, and satirize persons, places and things throughout society.
WE DIG DEEPER
That’s right. We dig deeper into the wittiness of our minds to provide articles that reveal irony and sarcasm. We may even result to ridicule and the likes (pick a synonym) to mock, expose, or denounce various elements of the human condition.
YOU THINK HARDER
If you have taken the time to actually read beyond the first paragraph, then congratulations, you probably have an attention span greater than most who visit this site on a daily basis. You are also in need of additional accolades because you took the time to read beyond the headlines and dared to venture into the abyss of our “About Us” page to seek out more detail about who we are and what we represent.
We represent the free thinkers (at least we like to convince ourselves we do) and do not claim to take ownership of anyone side of any particular argument, but rather, we would like to point out the nonsensical sides of most arguments so that you the reader might free your mind a bit and think for yourself. We understand
IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT WE WRITE AND WOULD LIKE TO SUE US
We would ask that you do not do that. Satire is a form of free speech and expression and it is protected under the First Amendment. Except in instances where public figures are being satirized, we use fictional (invented) names in all of our stories; in any such instance where a fictional or invented name resembles any real life person, it is entirely accidental and coincidental. And, again, this site is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
WHAT IS SATIRE?
Before we get to the definition, let us first say this, if you do not already feel comfortable defining satire on your own, it is probably best that you avoid our website entirely. There we warned you. With that, Dictionary.com defines satire as the following: the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing,denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF D&H
Our existence has now spanned two centuries, originally conceived and first published in 1987. Mostly dormant throughout our existence, we have risen from the ashes like a badly damaged, brain dead phoenix incapable of flight.
