Satire

GunsForKids.com - relax, it is a satirical site. I find it ironic that gun control advocates are wasting their time attacking this site which obviously supports gun control - albeit through a heavy satirical cover.

A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift - for those who need a good reminder of what satire is.

Di-Hydrogen Monoxide Awareness - another good satire site. Took me awhile to figure out, but rest assured it is not serious.
