The Colbert Report
A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift
Or, the complete definition being Satire is a technique of writing or art which exposes the follies of its subject (for example, individuals, organizations, or states) to ridicule, often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change. The humor of satire tends to be subtle, using irony and deadpan humor liberally.

This is satire (a mode of challenging or making fun of accepted notions by making them seem ridiculous) aimed specifically at the general weaknesses of society, rather than an attack on an individual.
