New Hood: Colossal Squid "Not Nearly As Tasty As Hoped"
Bit of the old humour there.
More satirical is the return of the Dim Post on Kiwiblog: Violent Bible Book Should be Banned. You can also read the comments for proof of the prose-interpretation skills of some Kiwiblog commenters.
Incidentally, you can still see the squid-cam footage, or if you're still hungry for satiricalness, go find some Tom Lehrer (and thanks to Ms Gracewood for a pointer to some of Lehrer's more obscure work).
Here's 'Pollution':

New Not-Really-A-Hood: Front Cover Review: Absolute Power
Not really satire - I didn't click the thing that apparently sends it to the satire mailing list, for example. But looking at it, it seems to have come from a satirical place.
And it's utterly true that Ian Wishart's book has no obligation to look high end and may even do better not to.
So yeah.

New Hood: NZ Politics - The Text Adventure
"[a] little beauty"
- Some guy on Public Address System
"Geekish. Column. Ever."
- Lyndon Hood
And to repeat, also of note are Right To Smack, the website dedicated to a parent's right to lovingly beat their children as part of good parental correction, and "Flat Earth NZ chapter reaches out to climate skeptics."
Oh, and on the perils rather than the examples of satire, a little while ago the Boston Herald mistook a Borowitz Report piece (Cheney Challenges Hillary to Hunting Contest) for fact. For more of Andy Borowitz's magic the current lead is Democratic Race ‘Too Mean,’ Say Swift Boat Veterans.
