We are better than that and should have a higher standard of expectation for our readers.

I know what you are saying and I used to agree with it because I love a good satire that almost fools me until I get into the middle of it. But, I have discovered that there are a lot of people whose brains are just more analytical/logical/left brain…call it what you like... and find it difficult to process absurdity and see the humor at the same time. Instead of laughing at it, it just makes them angry. So… this is not a slam on those people. It is just a way we can celebrate our diversity! (That last sentence was satire.)

I have experienced this a couple of times. It's an eye opener.

Perhaps. Or perhaps it's because they accepted on good faith and got a joke pulled on them instead. Sometimes funny, sometimes just annoying.

Satire ... or sarcasm? Though satire is surely sarcasm full-throttle! {^)
