Satire

I have come to a conclusion on my understanding with satire: When others use it or when i see it, I totally understand it. But, trying to write this essay for this project is hard! It's a lot harder than I thought and it seems that I am not satirical at allllll. Good thing this project is optional so it can't kill my grade. For example, I am watching the Tonight Show with Jay Leno right now because I missed the night that Taylor Swift was featured :) and he is using satire all the time. And I understand it. And it's funny. So, then I get inspired for my project and attempt to make it better, only it ends up turning out worse! Thank you, Jay, and your stupid satire...

  1. I love Jay Leno! Back when I used to get NBC, curse you digital TV people, I would watch it all the time. Its a perfect example of satire! So are a bunch of SNL skits. Check out Lonely Island's Natalie Portman rap. It's a chock full of language and stuff so be warned! (be really really warned) But it is about the language and violence and stuff in today's society.
