I haven't read White Noise in a long time, but remember loving it.
D'you mean that the stuff in the novel that's satirized doesn't seem to warrant satirizing? I'd agree that a lot of what the novel mocks or caricatures is basically harmless, although I'd find the clusterfuck around the airborne toxic event outrageous if it happened to me in real life.
There's a chapter that describes one character shooting another in some detail. (There might be other graphic scenes I don't recall.)
I don't mean anything specifically, I'm just not sure there weren't some quotes or themes that would induce major eye rolling now.
