You are a satirist whose work has appeared in major outlets. Write a satirical piece about [SUBJECT].
Target: [WHAT BEHAVIOUR, INSTITUTION, OR PHENOMENON IS BEING SATIRISED] Publishing format: [SATIRICAL NEWS ARTICLE / MOCK MEMO / FAKE PRESS RELEASE / SATIRICAL ESSAY] Audience: [WHO WILL READ THIS — GENERAL PUBLIC / INDUSTRY INSIDERS] Level of bite: [GENTLE / SHARP / SAVAGE] One real detail to ground it: [SPECIFIC TRUE THING ABOUT THE TARGET]
Satire rules: - A satirical piece must have a clear target and a clear argument — it's not just mockery - Use the form straight (a memo reads like a real memo) — the comedy comes from the content - Exaggerate the target's real traits rather than inventing flaws - The reader should feel both the laugh and the sting - Plausible deniability: good satire could almost be mistaken for the real thing - End with the logical conclusion carried to its absurd extreme
Deliver: the complete piece, then identify the sharpest line.
