Restoration Assignment #2

Define "satire". Don't just copy and paste a definition from another source. Read the definition, and then explain it in your own words. Once you have done that, provide a few modern-day examples of satire (television shows, movies, magazines, etc.).

A satire is where someone makes fun of or shows someone or somethings flaws by using sarcasm, jokes, or imitations?

So.. examples. I think that House (tv show) is probably a really good example. He uses a lot of metaphors and sarcasm when people are being blatantly ignorant. He doesn't necessarily mock them either, so that makes me lean more towards him as a good example. Another tv show might be Family Guy or Robot Chicken. They show people or events in a way that shows their flaws or "follies".
