My cousin told me to ignore the 'birds aren't real' thing as a joke, but now I see people taking it seriously at protests in Denver.

Yeah, the Denver protests are actually about something totally different. The "birds aren't real" signs there are just satire being used to make a point about other stuff.

Okay but what's the actual point being made then? If the signs are just satire, what's the real protest about? Seems like mixing a joke with a serious message just makes both sides look silly.

You know, I used to agree with that. But terryk28 is right, the satire gets people to stop and listen to the real issues. It's like a hook for the serious talk they want to have.
