Satire Example

  When I looked at this picture of satire, it made me laugh because it was really hypocritical to the group that decided to post this sign that is in CLEAR violation of their own rules.  The sign says, "NO posting of signs on public proterty" and the sign telling people not to post on public proterty is a sign posted on public proterty (posted on a street pole).  The picture uses irony and a little bit of burlesque portraying the stupidity of the people who posted the sign.  Irony, because it is a contradiction in itself.
