It’s not good satire? 90% of the viewers fell for it, and the one before that, and the one before that. Freerepublic attracts a highly intelligence audience. If I can “satirize” 10% of freerepublic, I consider it a job well done.

You posted a fake news story. That's not satire, that's a fake news story.

Satire is generally humorous and provides a unique and insightful way of looking at a real problem.

The purpose of satire is not to trick people into believing a false story, it's making them laugh and think about an issue by showing them a fresh perspective.
