Summary

This quote, by author and comedian Ellen DeGeneres, cleverly challenges the common rationale behind displaying deer heads as trophies. While many claim it is for the sake of appreciating the beauty of the animal, DeGeneres highlights the absurdity of this reasoning by drawing a parallel with one's own mother. Just as one may find their mother attractive, they still possess photographs as a means of appreciation, rather than showcasing a severed head. Through this analogy, DeGeneres playfully nudges people to reconsider the underlying motivations for such displays.

Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice, that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom, because you're on the front lines.
