Satire shows wit, high-order humor or displays some great knowledge of the human condition for the purpose of lampooning it or debunking accumulated falsities (for example, a recent New Yorker magazine cover or any issue of Mad Magazine). I'm hard put to find the satire in the first post of this thread. But as others have suggested time to put this thread out of its misery and you can well believe I won't be bringing this one back.
Satire - the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
You might do a little more research as to the meaning of words. Couple the title of the thread with the body of the post.... it's "satire".
Berk....
I don't know Berk, could it be that your particular use of Emoticon and where you posted it made it less likley that it would be viewed as Satire (which I do understand, but did not recongize in your post). It seems that Admin 1 did not initially get it as well- so, your well intentioned Satire might have been lost. Oh, isn't that also the domine of another section, dedicated to busting chops? If it went there, I am sure we would all have gotten it..
For what it is worth.
