Sort of funny, at first, but way too hyperbolic for my taste. In other words, ridiculous. You might take a cue from Jonathan Swift, whose satire was actually believable. I think that's the key for satire to work, that the reader would stop and think, could this be true? I think that's why this piece didn't work for me. It was totally preposterous.
