SECOND SATIRICAL POST

1. The Onion Article - Hundreds of Horrified Onlookers Gather Around Wreckage of Area Man. This article is satirical because it is a parody of a car crash. It states "All we know is that a white male in his mid-30s lost control of his life and, after a series of wrong turns, completely fell apart, coming to a stop where you see him now." (James Hodges) which is a parody of how a car would have lost control after a series of wrong turns, became a wreck, and came to a stop after the crash.  


2. Mother Gets Grounded After Sneaking Out


Last friday evening Jane Bergen, mother of 2 teenage girls, snuck out for an evening with her friends at the local Cactus Club. When she returned home her oldest daughter, Margaret, was waiting up for her. Jane claimed "I knew you would be mad honey, but I just haven't seen Lucy and Donna in such a long time! Can't you forgive me?" Margaret has now punished Jane with a 2 month sentence of grounding.  


It has now surfaced that Jane had, despite Margaret's rules, BEEN DRINKING!
An extra month has now been added to Jane's sentence.
