Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Attention! Fiction!
StMonkey:
well, i was thinking along the lines of like dinosaur comics or something. Although I occasionally do forget that this is the QC forums. But if not, change comics to fast food.

"WE'RE HAPPY YOU'RE HAPPY EATING OUR HAPPY FUN FOOD! COME TO HAPPYBURGER! COME TO -"
"Cut! I said cut! Where the fuck is the big monster guy on the left, come on people, someone find him!"
The advertisement director, Harry Weiss, sighed into his goatee and collapsed into his folding chair as though it were the last hiding place anyone would look. Christ, all those young dreams. From his first thoughtful indie films, to this. At precisely which level of self-loathing did one qualify as a dirty fucking sell-out, he wondered to himself. The acne-ridden scriptwriter who'd thought up this gaudy monstrosity for HappyBurger sat two chairs away, grinning mindlessly. Harry reminded himself that at least on the inside he still cared what people thought of his work. The spotty, sweaty greaseball writing this piece of shit was evidently only in it for the money. Two rooms away, cowering behind a star-embellished door made of balsa wood, sat Bradley. Bradley shivered in the dark, ensconced in his own furry, purple hell, the razor blade only inches from his wrists. One more time. One more time he had to hug that clown, and he swore he'd finish himself. He'd been working the costume for nineteen years now, and it just wasn't worth it any more.
Suddenly a ditzy female coffee-runner cannonballed through the door. "Bradley, I - I - They need you in - um - um - Set Three? For um, for the advert?"
Her sentences ended in that ridiculous upwards affectation that ditzy coffee-runners can manage to produce vocally without being at all aware of its irritation to others.
Bradley groaned inwardly, and trudged toward the set. One more fucking clown hug. Why him, anyway? Why'd he have to do it? Why the purple furry thing? Why not the little green dinosaur guy from Mexico? Bradley didn't even like clowns!

(edit: is this in the right style? I know you said satire, but I didn't know which kind of satire you meant. I did say to suggest themes, instead of subject matter. Themes give a touch more room for interpretation.)

A+ Would read again, repeatedly. As for your OP, I would say this is a pretty awesome way to give to the forum.
Melodic:
Space; pi, and the inability to comprehend the infinite size of our universe.
Also this is a fucking awesome idea.
