This satire is commenting on how ridiculous the media has become. It works because it includes two examples that are insane but that also actually happen while watching media. One, there are religious shows that you can 'go to church' by viewing. And two, the news has stuped to the level of Michael Jackson and other such stars as worthy breaking news. This is an indirect satire because the character's actions is portraying the satire. I would say it's horatian because it makes the fact that were so absorbed with such ridiculous media funny. The cartoon is very sarcastic because of it's obvious mocking of the populations interests in insane media programs and news events.
