Satire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
some people are concerned about recent trends in US politics…
Satire (from Latin satura, not from the Greek mythological figure satyr[1] (Satire - Wikipedia)) is a literary genre, chiefly literary and dramatic, in which human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, sometimes with an intent to bring about improvement.[2] (Satire - Wikipedia) It is used in graphic arts and performing arts as well. Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, the purpose of satire is not primarily humour but criticism of an event, an individual or a group in a clever manner.
Satire is to be distinguished from parody, which sticks to the form of the piece being mocked. The similarity to comedy is that “in satire, irony is militant”[3] (Satire - Wikipedia).
Satire usually has a definite target, which may be a person or group of people, an idea or attitude, an institution or a social practice. It is found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as song lyrics. Often the target is examined by being held up for ridicule, typically in the hope of shaming it into reform. A very common, almost defining feature of satire is a strong vein of irony or sarcasm. Also, parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are devices frequently used in satirical speech and writing – but it is strictly a misuse of the word to describe as “satire” works without an ironic (or sarcastic) undercurrent of mock-approval. Satirical writing or drama often professes to approve values that are the diametric opposite of what the satirist actually wishes to promote.
yes the video is from the Onion - but the addendum is apparently about a real Magnet school.
