The Dos and Don�ts of Satirical Writing

Satire walks a fine line between clever critique and sounding like a guy shouting into a coffee cup. Do aim at power. Don�t just rant at your ex. Do exaggerate truth. Don�t abandon it entirely (unless it�s hilarious). Avoid punching down unless your target owns a yacht or a news network. Good satire leaves the reader laughing and rethinking their worldview. Bad satire just makes your relatives block you. Study Swift, channel Stewart, and above all, rewrite like the NSA is watching. Because if your joke lands, they probably are.
