Rather! Just think of it- we've already lost Christmas, April Fools, New Years, and probably a few others to the unstoppable force of PR departments. The nerve of these people! Just find any decent day of the year and pollute it by pretending to be real people with a sense of humour and personalities. I can imagine a future where they've turned every day into a holiday and spoiled the whole year acting like humans, when they should be doing the same day to day job they have to do for the rest of the time. It sickens me.

Erm, I seem to be getting a negative response. This is, I hope you are aware, a joke that carries on the joke of the post above it. I do not actually agree with the sentiments I have given, they were to be imagined with sarcasm.

I downvoted your apology because you gotta own it, no apologies!

[Draco6slayer]

You know, I completely accept that. \grin.

Did you consider that people with a negative response might not agree with the intentional message you are conveying via sarcasm, and not just mistakenly having a negative response because they can't perceive your sarcasm?

I rather did not, and for two reasons: Firstly, the post that I was attached to that was offering the same joke, almost precisely, was getting very positive attention. Secondly, after I added the footnote, the total score for the comment increased from -2 to +4, making it the second most karma-profitable post I have made, as far as I'm aware.

Not that I'm being karma obsessed. I just wanted to make sure that people realized that it was a joke, and the metric I have available seems to prove me right.
