<hr />
<div>A '''satire''' is a device used to highlight, expose and criticise people's behaviour. To achieve this, it employs strong irony or sarcasm and some humor. <ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/satire</ref> Childish name-calling never forms a part of satire. [[Parody]] is a popular sub-form of satire.<br />
