# "So What?" — Judge Magazine Satire This page contains brief satirical news items with two accompanying cartoons. The top cartoon shows a man enthusiastically driving a car, captioned "Then you said, 'I haven't tried to ride a bicycle for years!'" — likely mocking someone bragging about past accomplishments before attempting something difficult and failing. The bottom cartoon depicts a judge with a prisoner, captioned "And when you give him this say, 'look, judge, what I brought you!'" — appearing to satirize either bribery attempts or the absurdity of gift-giving in legal proceedings. The "So What?" news briefs mock various institutions: the French government's film censorship concerns, a Yale scientist's findings about germs, and Spanish Parliament members secretly sleeping during sessions wearing dark glasses—all presented as humorous absurdities of contemporary life.
