I'm Not Actually A Potato In Case There Was Any Confusion.

      I love satire, but I can't really think of anything that I want to write about it. I'm not even kidding, I've been staring at my computer screen for the past ten minutes trying to think of something witty that I could do with the topic, but tonight is one of those times where after a week of no sleep, there's pretty much no way that anything creative is going to come out of my mind. College applications and projects and tests and practice every night have dulled me down to a point of where I would rather just go to my backyard, lay down in my garden, and pretend I'm a potato until eventually the rest of the world, including myself, forgets that I'm not a potato, and I actually think that would be a really happy life in comparison to what is being inflicted upon some of us right now in the academic field. However, complaining doesn't have much to do with English class, so here's some stuff on my favorite satire:

     Parody movies are probably the best when they're not overdone. The best example of this, at least in my book, is the movie Space Balls. I also enjoy the kind of satire found on Saturday Night Live, which is why I'm always parked in front of the television from the hours of 11:30 to 12:45 every Saturday night with few to no exceptions. Reading satire is okay, but only when it is strong enough for the reader to know that it is actually satire. Otherwise I kind of sit there and go back and forth between if it's real or not and then eventually bam! Not even funny anymore. The debating going on inside my head ruined it. Sarcasm is a type of satire that I often times use myself because I have a dark soul and I just can't help that. But you know what really irks me? When people use sarcasm over text. It doesn't work that way, you guys! Tone of voice is the key to making sarcasm obvious, so when it's typed on a text message and nobody is actually saying it, don't expect me to understand that you're joking. But anyways, that's about all I have to say about satire.

The End.
