There is a common headline that The Onion (premier satirical news outlet) uses whenever there is a mass shooting in the USA. It is very unfortunate that that we get to read this headline frequently. Most of the article is also redundant where only the place and dates are changed. This is not trivializing the grave occurrence that it is talking about but on the contrary, it is working on the principle of castigat ridendo mores which means ‘laughing corrects morals’. Simply put, satire does cause social change.
