Title: Satire
Post by: strongbad on March 08, 2009, 03:26:34 PM
I need 3 examples of satire in the media that can't include SNL, The Daily Show, or The Onion.
Explanations on why they're considered satire would be appreciated, since I most likely won't know the show/book/whatever that you're talking about.

Thanks  happydood;

Or you could just look up some political cartoons. doodthing;

The Colbert Report works. Thanks thyme slim.
Political cartoons won't work, though. It needs to be a movie or something.

Thank You For Smoking (the movie with Aaron Eckhart). Great example. This Film Is Not Yet Rated, too. Subjects of their satire are obvious.
