Satire II
Since the link for the video isn’t working for me, this will have to do…
Satire is used a lot in political cartoons. Basically, political cartoons = satire. The cartoonists have an opinion on a political issue, which is generally a common perspective, and illustrates their opinion through a cartoon. There’s a video online that I never get tired of watching because it’s so funny, but I definitely think there’s a satiric backdrop to it. http://www.killsometime.com/animations/animation.asp?ID=153 This is a great cartoon because it targets teenagers, who are the leaders of tomorrow. It gets the message across, which is that nukes are bad. No matter how badly we want to be the most powerful, if the earth isn’t destroyed due to natural disasters, we will blow the earth up.
