The Covert Comic, long online (covertcomic.com), suggests the need for an IC Comic, if for no other reason than to ridicule those who claim urgent need to castigate the IC, a noble consortium of 13 or more agencies of a classified number of dedicated secretkeepers working tirelessly to protect citizens of the United States of America from knowing what the IC and its ever growing number of overseers, contractors, universities, consultants, free-lancers and carefully coddled, groomed and briefed media reps like those exploiting Edward Snowden and the increasing gaggle of forever gagged whistleblowers and ex-spies, actually do, not just the glamorized spillage. Spying is funny, peculiar, odd, insane, vain, treacherous, vicious, all too human comedic. At 02:45 PM 11/1/2015, you wrote:

The United States of Air is a satire that makes fun of mass surveillance and the NSA.
Surveillance isn't funny. It takes legendary comedic talent to acknowledge that and drive it home, everything else are humor-ops attempting to pass it off as non-serious. Hundreds of channels, filled with ops. Where's the signal (beef)?
I agree.
Maybe read the book before you judge it?
