In 2005 South Park produced an episode about gingers. It is a perfect example of satire! Being a ginger myself I have lived with the affects of the show. I don't mind it. I really don't care, but I thought it would be funny hearing it from a ginger perspective!
In this episode there is constant ridicule about gingers and how they have red hair and freckles AND don't forget NO SOUL! In this show they continue to single out the race of red heads and make crazy accusations. They use the technique of exaggeration. They use crazy, non sensical accusations in order to make it sound ridiculous. It is along the same lines of being a "blonde". This is a great aspect of satire and how the technique of exaggeration is used. South Park uses this in many of their episodes, and the satire works. People laugh, and they think it's comical. All in all it makes their show successful!
