I’d say that the reviews you have cited are satirical.

I retract my assessment. I have found what appears to be the original paper ([0], from Computer 2005), and there is no indication that the reviews are fake. On the contrary, it appears that they are brought up as striking examples of a reviewer's incompetence. Wow!

Ok, I've read everything more carefully: those are clearly hypothetical, entertaining reviews. Hints: (1) the link at the beginning; (2) no references to the sources :-)
Thank you. This is the article I remember.

And yes, I have been fooled. This is a lesson to only cite (and even remember) carefully read articles!
