    Well, I don't really want to get more embroiled in this. I'm willing to believe the OP meant nothing by it.

    But, satire is, by definition, sarcasm, mockery and criticism.

    From Merriam-Webster:

    sat·ire


    noun \ˈsa-ˌtī(-ə)r\: a way of using humor to show that someone or something is foolish, weak, bad, etc. : humor that shows the weaknesses or bad qualities of a person, government, society, etc.
    : a book, movie, etc., that uses satire

    Full Definition of SATIRE

    1
    : a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn

    2
    : trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly
