The Satirist -now this is the kind of writing that I like, and it is really fun. Just pick any topic that you think is ridiculous, and go to town on it. But of course, try not to be totally rude and obnoxious when slamming whatever it is you are writing about.
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a perfect example of satire. It is a satire of 18th Century British Society, and is a classic. Satirists of today can have a field day with topics such as politics, overpaid actors and professional sports figures, and numerous other subjects. Politics has always been a favorite throughout the times.
When writing satire, keep in mind that you want the reader to find your writing humorous, and not condescending. You want to leave them with a smile on their face, and something to think about. You don't want to leave them with the impression that you are just a complainer, and possibly even an arrogant antagonist.
Anyway, a little satire in whatever you write can add spice to your creations.
