Framework

The Satirical News Alert

Mimics the visual language of breaking news to deliver an absurd, highly specific internet-culture joke about a serious public figure, relying on extreme juxtaposition for comedic effect.

  1. 1

    The High-Low Contrast Headline

    Delivers the core joke by placing the serious, high-status figure into a highly specific, embarrassing, or trivial internet-culture scenario.

  2. 2

    The Faux-Credible Source

    Grounds the absurd claim with a fake source or 'leak', using terminology relevant to the figure's real-world context to heighten the irony.
