Satire #3

http://www.theonion.com/articles/nations-moms-invent-new-recreational-drug-to-worry,28130/

This article about fictional drugs makes effective use of sarcasm, a form of satirical humour that makes fun of something by pointing out the obvious flaws in arguments or logic while appearing serious.

This video, from "the onion", also uses a great sense of satirical humour with sarcasm. Using nascar as the centre of the sarcasm. in the video, the actors are very serious and this helps a lot with the sarcastic aspect of the video, as though the video is sarcastic, but the actors in the video themselves are not being sarcastic.
