Third Satire Post

The first link is the movie trailer for the The Disaster Movie which came out in 2008. Its a movie about the end of the world but all the greatest characters, actors, singers, and other celebrities are involved. The movie over exaggerates all of the most well things about each character. For example Hannah Montana is crushed by a huge boulder and is still perfectly preppy while she dies and is advertising her new album while everybody around her is screaming and running away. There are other characters such as the characters from Sex and the City, Enchanted, Juno, Hancock, the Incredible Hulk and many more. It's funny because they are over exaggerating and mocking the celebrities in a terrible situation. The second link is an article from The Onion. The article is about an Osprey that devours a lion as appose to the other way round, it is satire because it over exaggerates the power of a 3 pound bird which realistically could never take on a 400 pound lion. Its funny because it is turning the food chain upside down and if the Osprey eats lions... does that make it top of the most famous food chains? It affects almost every animal, and what if all the animals decide to eat whoever they want? Now this could lead to the end of the world!
