According to the Wikipedia, the definition of 'Satire' is primarily a literary genre or form, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule and shame somebody or society itself, for the better improvement. Satire is initially meant to be funny and entertaining, but its greater goal is to give constructive criticism to society.
Especially, I want to deal with 'Political Satire', which is one of the most widely used forms of satire in this society. Political satire is to ridicule politicians, or any kind of political events and decisions made by politicians. Political satire is very different from political protest or political dissent: its goal is to entertain people, encourage social criticism and improvement.
One good example of political satire is Tina Fey's TV show.
She satirized 'Sarah Palin', the vice president candidate of Republican party in the 2008 election of United States. She imitated Sarah Palin's interview with Joseph Biden, the vice president candidate of Democrat Party.
She mocked Sarah Palin's attitude in interview: her unpreparedness, ignorance, and nonprofessional knowledge was satirized by Tina Fey's imitation. For example, she imitated Palin by saying "May I use phone-call chance? Because I don't know much about that issue"
Like this, I want to deal with 'political satire'. Especially, I want to mock president Lee Myung-Bak's current problematic policies.
Nice choice, and I like you didn't cut and paste a definition from Wiki. Sarah Palin is a MASSIVE target for satire as she has made almost every mistake you can possibly make in politics. But for some reason she is still around and still has a bright future in the public eye. Why? Because she's kind of pretty, which is why the Republicans adopted her. Good work.
