This said, the Onion's recent amicus brief to SCOTUS is an amazing read.

Not only because the whole thing is
deeply satirical, but it's also presented straight-facedly, and the primary subject is the nature of satire itself and how it
has to be delivered that way, and how it
has to be plausible-enough to be taken seriously for there to be any possibility of humour. It
has to trick people into thinking for a hot second it might be true; that's
how satire works, and that people who are too fucking dimwitted to recognize it as satire should be recognized for being fuckwit morons and their stupidity is only their own fault and not that of the satirist they were too dense to understand was joking. If you're that fucking dumb, you're not a "reasonable reader", and your reaction is your fault, and yours alone.
