Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else. --Will Rogers "I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees." - George W. Bush I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would .. try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile. - Condoleeza Rice Barbara Bush: It's Good Enough for the Poor To comfort the powerless and make the powerful uncomfortable.

Satire is a literary technique of writing or art which principally ridicules its subject (for example, individuals, organizations, or states) often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change.

The main intent of satire is political, social, or moral and not comic. The humor of such a satire tends to be subtle, using irony and deadpan humor liberally.

What larger truth/deep thought about matters political, social, etc., does this satirical piece illustrate?

Seems pretty damn obvious to me. Overconsumption and overproduction (ie. waste) of useless junk. It's been primarily a U.S./Western problem for years, but it's spreading to countries like India, who are slowly losing the Gandhian principles of just using what you need and no more, and going all out with conspicuous consumption. Only problem is that, with a population as large as India's, the environment won't be able to handle it. The Western consumer culture sets a poor example for the world to follow.
