From a review (of sorts) of the movie Josie and the Pussycats, by Inspector Lohmann
And so Josie and The Pussycats achieves the same effect here: our rulers — Corporations — can deign to be the brunt of our jibes because ultimately the joke is on us.
And yet even though their position is (seemingly) impervious, that doesn’t mean the jabs taken at them don’t help the peasants feel better for doing it. You may not be able to slay your masters (thereby achieving real freedom), but it helps relieve the pressure of wage and consumerist slavehood to be allowed to thumb your nose at them while throwing a ball at their dunking chair.
And that’s what Josie and the Pussycats does: it allows the peasants to wink knowingly to each other about their place while thinking they’re putting one over on their masters; meanwhile, however, the masters wink to each other in their boardrooms too.
