Go directly to jail,so i don't have to put up with ridiculous amount of stupid polls. LOLOLOL.

In all seriousness,this thread is pretty funny,and polls are,indeed,a good target for satire. I love when satire is taking the right turn at 4th and Bananas.

Mmm tasty satire. A nice helping with my coffee is all good. Polls are fine when you want an instant idea of a simple yes or no opinion, but all too often they serve no purpose.

And Lacoil only has a sword because she's determined to be different. You know, like wearing a bowler when the rest of us are obviously sporting top hats.

I don't understand it, therefore it must be genius!

I smell the pungent scent of internet elitism. We already have enough of it here.

Snow is a whole bunch of individual ice crystals arranged together. When a light photon enters a layer of snow, it goes through an ice crystal on the top, which changes its direction slightly and sends it on to a new ice crystal, which does the same thing. Basically, all the crystals bounce the light all around so that it comes right back out of the snow pile. It does the same thing to all the different light frequencies, so all colors of light are bounced back out. The "color" of all the frequencies in the visible spectrum combined in equal measure is white, so this is the color we see in snow, while it's not the color we see in the individual ice crystals that form snow.

I much prefer to add information then say somthing like red.

I know very well what satire is, good sir. Jonathan Swift is satire. Joseph Heller is satire. Stephen Colbert is satire. This is not satire.

wikipedia said:
Satire: noun. In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the intent to bring about improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be funny, the purpose of satire is not primarily humour in itself so much as an attack on something of which the author strongly disapproves, using the weapon of wit.

A very common, almost defining feature of satire is its strong vein of irony or sarcasm, but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. The essential point, however, is that "in satire, irony is militant". This "militant irony" (or sarcasm) often professes to approve (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist actually wishes to attack.
I do not wish to discuss the meaning of satire with you any further.
I saw very little in the way of wit, humor, or irony. Rather than "bring about improvement" to the board, you clutter it with another meaningless thread. Wacky random statements =/= satire. I do not wish to discuss the meaning of "not satire" with you any further.
