Satire

Look in the dictionary on your computer. What is satire? Go to this link. Read some of the articles. Why is this satire?

'Satire' is defined in the dictionary as the use of irony, sarcasm, or ridicule in exposing, denouncing, deriding vice or folly.

The articles on The Onion are filled with satire. They exaggerate the truth and make fun of real life situations and today's society. One example would be the parody news video about Apple's introduction of a laptop lacking a keyboard, which ridicules people's infatuation of materials and technology.
