School Funk now a perfume. Driving people crazy.

Although perhaps most well-known as a common weapon of Mark Twain, satire has been used since ancient times. Civilizations like the Greeks and Egyptians even used them. One of the more intriguing parts of this literary technique is that it combines humor and criticism into one. By themselves, these two things can produce some strong emotions in people, and by fusing them together, the reader is allowed to experience both of this emotions. Satire's intention may be to correct a human fault, but it may only be able to correct it in small doses. These days, I bet most of satire posses little criticism, and a lot of humor. Too many negative aspects in satire in today's world has lead to actual violence, and while something satirical could probably be said about that, it's a good idea not to say anything on it. While our group came up with a bunch of different satirical headlines, I realized something: most of these would be considered "inside" jokes, so I suppose that is something to watch out for, satire's got to be made for the entire population, not just a select group.
