Satire has historically been one of the most revered forms of constitutionally-protected free speech in the United States. Nonjohn's Satirical Sideshow is presented with a reverence for our rights to free speech. In June, 2003, Nadine Strossen, president of the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), commented, "I love comedy and humor -- especially of a political stripe. I think that humor is a saving grace -- even -- indeed, especially -- about the most serious issues. The great judge Learned Hand famously observed that 'The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure it is right.' In the same vein, we civil libertarians should never take ourselves too seriously! Consistent with our neutral non-partisanship, we should be able to laugh at everyone -- including even ourselves!" In this spirit, Nonjohn's Satirical Sideshow focuses in part on his own profession of psychiatry. By doing so, Nonjohn hopes to advance excellence in psychiatry, while at the same time exposing stupidity and/or harmful trends. Although satire is intended to be humorous on the surface, its deeper, more noble goal is to educate and raise consciousness, thereby contributing to a general public more capable of critical thought. For pretentious "emperors" wearing no clothes, the process of satire will always feel threatening. If you find yourself getting upset with Nonjohn's Satirical Sideshow, you might want to take an honest look in the mirror to discover if you have some of the traits that Nonjohn is satirizing. For those who are interested in psychiatry, but who have a limited capacity for abstract and symbolic thought as required to appreciate Nonjohn's Satirical Sideshow, Nonjohn recommends www.psychiatricjournal.com. This website contains articles about psychiatry written in a more concrete, analytical, logical, and 'linear' format. These articles should convince even those with below average intelligence or deficits in reality-testing that Nonjohn is dedicated to the advancement of his chosen profession of psychiatry.

"Man’s drive for self-expression, which over the centuries has built his monuments, does not stay within set bounds. The creations, which yesterday were the detested and obscene, become the classics of today." -- California Supreme Court Justice Matthew Tobriner
DISCLAIMER
Nonjohn's Satirical Sideshow is entirely FICTIONAL and is intended for MATURE audiences (18 years or older) only. Characters, organizations, events, and situations mentioned or represented here are NOT real. Any resemblance to actual persons, organizations, events, or situations is not intentional and is entirely coincidental. Any truths, conclusions, or interpretations that you derive from this material are products of YOUR imagination. Characters, organizations, events, and situations mentioned or represented here do NOT in any way represent or resemble the medical practices of John Tennison, M.D. Even though John Tennison is an actor who has played the role of the satirical character of "Dr. Schmocter," it would be psychotic to conclude that John Tennison is Dr. Schmocter. In similar fashion, no one in their right mind would conclude that Jack Nicholson is the "Joker" as a result of Nicholson having played the "Joker" in the movie, "Batman." Moreover, real-life psychiatrists have played satirical psychiatrists in the movies. For example, real-life psychiatrist Dr. Dean Brooks played the opioid-addicted psychiatrist, "Dr. Spivey" in the Academy-Award winning Best Picture, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Others might erroneously conclude that John Tennison could not have imagined the character of Dr. Schmocter unless John Tennison had traits similar to "Dr. Schmocter." Such a conclusion is as stupid as believing that Stephen King is monstrous because he writes about monsters in his novels. Lastly, if you believe in a Christian God who created everything, you probably don't regard God as evil simply because God created Lucifer (A.K.A. Satan).
