Mediamass should be called MediaMESS. It isn't worthy of being called a satire site -- it isn't even worthy of being called an EMBARRASSINGLY BAD satire site.

Satire is NOT about making something up and hoping that someone thinks it's funny. Proper satire takes a spoonful of irony or inconvenient truth and bakes it into a three-tiered cake with frosting. But because it has the potential to be lethal, satire (like automatic weapons and guitar feedback) works best when handled by trained, experienced professionals.

Here are examples of good online satire, courtesy of The Onion.com and The Borowitz Report:
Cheney Marks Tenth Anniversary of Pretending There Was A Reason To Invade Irag

Kids In 'Scared-Straight' Program Visit Horrifying Cleveland Cavaliers Practice

Obama Blasts Obama's Evasive Stance On Gay Marriage

New Breeding Program Aimed At Keeping Moderate Republicans From Going Extinct

Bon Jovi Start 30th Anniversary Tour By Renewing Their Same-Sexless Marriage Vows

Richie Sambora Orders Removal Of Segregated Checkout Lines From His White Trash Beautiful Clothing Stores
Okay, I made up the last two -- but I did so satirically!
