Satire to me is way to make people smile and give a laugh about ridiculous situations in society. Satire can be taken too far which is why we are doing this project and learning more in depth about it. Some people may think satire shouldn't be allowed because many people hide behind saying an image or song or whatever is satire when really it just an offensive image or whatever it may be they have made and it is their offensive opinion on a situation. I believe satire should have some regulations to how far it can go when satirizing in society. Otherwise i try to keep an open mind about satire and have fun with it and enjoy the laugh and smile it brings and the funny situations that are out there in the world today.

This picture depicts how the simpsons use staire because it is depicting and making fun of Star Wars.
It shows a different funnier view of Star Wars and the follies of the movie like Homer being the big fat guy and Marge is depicting his slave girl. It fits into the catergory of satire because it is making fun of the man follies of the movie star wars Star Wars and having a funnier image and view of the movie.
Weird Al Yankovic Lyrics
They see me mowin'
My front lawn
I know they're all thinking
I'm so White N' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy!
I wanna roll with-
The gangsters
But so far they all think
I'm too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy
Really, really white n' nerdy
First in my class here at M.I.T.
Got skills, I'm a Champion of DND
MC Escher that's my favorite MC
Keep your 40
I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin to the contrary
You'll find they're quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawkings in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
I got people begging for my top 8 spaces
Yo I know Pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I'm a whiz at minesweeper I can play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you're gonna stay amazed,
my fingers movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze
There's no killer app I haven't run
At Pascal, well, I'm number 1
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain't got a gat but I gotta soldering gun
Happy days is my favourite theme song
I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I'm fluent in Java Script as well as Klingon
They see me roll on, my Segway!
I know in my heart they think I'm
white n' nerdy!
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy
I'd like to roll with-
The gangsters
Although it's apparent I'm too
White n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy
How'd I get so white n' nerdy?
I've been browsing, inspectin'
X-men comics you know I collect 'em
The pens in my pocket
I must protect 'em
my ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shopping online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
I got a business doing websites
When my friends need some code who do they call?
I do HTML for them all
Even made a homepage for my dog!
Yo! Got myself a fanny pack
they were having a sale down at the GAP
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
POP POP! Hope no one sees me gettin' freaky!
I'm nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour creme
I was in AV club and Glee club and even the chess team!
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
I spend every weekend
at the renaissance fair
I got my name on my under wear!
They see me strollin'
They laughin'
And rollin' their eyes 'cause
I'm so white n' nerdy
Just because I'm white n' nerdy
Just because I'm white n' nerdy
All because I'm white n' nerdy
Holy cow I'm white n' nerdy
I wanna bowl with-
the gangsters
but oh well it's obvious I'm
white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy!
My front lawn
I know they're all thinking
I'm so White N' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy!
I wanna roll with-
The gangsters
But so far they all think
I'm too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy

Life. The Anti-Prom.
Effects of Prom on the Body.
Sweaty palms and panic attacks may occur either before or after. On the dance floor, ambient conditions cause dilation of the pupils. Emotional infatuation with members of the opposite sex can lead to an accelerated heart rate and sweaty palms. Many students experience nausea and/or headache due to the severe stress placed upon the body. Those that have experimented with prom before tend to have a lower severity of symptoms, as the body has learned to expect such social stimulation.
The information above is satirizing people who say going to high school prom is bad and dangerous. This is satire because it lists all the meaningless non-harmful things that could happen at prom. It shows that prom is not harmful at all and that there is nothing wrong with going to prom. It is making fun of the little things that may or may not happen if you attend prom. These things are pointless that are listed are funny and simply nothing bad at all.

Cartoon Satire
This cartoon fits into the category of satire because it is making fun of people who are over reacting and freaking out over the horoscope changes. It is showing that people are over doing the whole my sign changed and its is going to change my whole life now. This is satire because it give you a laugh about the people who would go as far as going to see a psychiatrist to deal with this 'issue' of zodiac sign change. That people who truly believe their zodiac sign effects their life are ridiculous.
