This article published by The Onion makes light of a commonly held belief about sibling relations - that siblings will be closer when they're older. When siblings are growing up, it is common for them to fight and not get along with each other. The silver lining to their fighting though, is that eventually, so they are told, they will be friends. This Onion article makes light of that using satire. Satire, which is defined in our reading as "the ridicule of a subject to point out its faults." The author makes fun of the way society views sibling relationships by using an example of a brother and sister who, even as adults, are not "closer" like they were promised.
