Satire is a lovely firestarter of sorts and a clever way to inform and challenge popular ideas. It's a potent device that casts such ideas in a different light and forces pause, reflection and even reconsideration.
I also feel its very undervalued as well. The nature of satire is to make a comical incision at popular beliefs that forces people to look. But because it is aimed at popular beliefs and ideals it usually gets discouraged or discredited.
