If satire reminds us of people who resemble the satire, then its good satire. I've been advised that some poor slobs don't get satire, like some autistics. They also are incapable of tying their own shoes and can't get a joke.
So beware of the dude or dudette who always wears flip flops or velcro shoes and is way up-tight. They will also get you banned from your neighborhood yahoo group. For using satire. As I found out. The hard way.
How long till baseball season starts
LF and norcal, "Blazing Saddles" is satire, "Hot Shots" is satire, Saturday Night Live attempts and once in a great while something sticks as satire, that OP article is apparently just bullshit. And Satire isnt french for bullshit - bullshit is bullshit.
Donnie Donnoie Donnie why are you so upset. Is it becuz you and Battle didn't realize it was a joke that the onion has been doing satire for years and you were fooled. Its ok it happens to everyone thats what they do, you don't have to get so upset. I thought it was hilarious. I don't think any less of you for the fact you think Hot Shots was satire.
Sorry donnie, but I will have to agree with Norcal that this is Satire- more like Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (suggested eating children was the answer to the Irish Famine or even "Gulliver's Travels" which was a satyrical look at the whig party
I will have to say that subject of this post made the point i think it intended
Dang, Joriv great pull on the Modest Proposal and Gulliver examples. If I had read them I would agree with you.
But the Modest proposal and Gulliver Travel's I saw had Demi Moore and Jack Black in them so I think I missed the fammine and Whig satyrical slant.
