It pains me, absolutely pains me, how many people out there are completely incapable of understanding satire. (media.kbin.run)

It pains me, absolutely pains me, how many people out there are completely incapable of understanding satire.

I honestly don't know how anyone could watch this video—actually, not even watch, just see the title and thumbnail for this video—and not realise that it's an obvious spoof.

This also reinforces my belief that the quality of YouTube comments decreases proportionally to how long the video has been released.

@[email protected] it's not that people don't get satire, it's that with that piece of information you already have an opinion, and you're mad and you write the comment. I felt that when I saw the thumbnail, but I said to myself "it can't be true" and moved on.
