Animal Farm


The animals, want to revolt because of the human tyrany. But when the leaders of the revolts, the Pigs, become too cocky for there own good, begin doing human things. Like sleeping in human beds, and eating human food. They also talk of deciet being bad, and not to be used. BUt do it later. Finally, they have the rule that 4 legs good, and 2 legs bad. But later, the pigs learn to walk on two legs, and change the rule of it to being 4 legs good, and 2 legs better.

But a easier example is Alanis Morissette's Song Ironic, which was altered here by college students to make it actually ironic.

A traffic jam when you're already late... to receive an award from the Municipal Planning Board for reducing the city's automobile congestion 80 percent.

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break... at the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco corporate offices in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife... with which to kill your spouse for sleeping with the young soup chef who works at the Au Bon Pain.
