Don't you realize who is REALLY being sarcastic?  Ray Frank is one of
the most persistent satirists on the net (with his brilliant attempts
to make every position he offers look extremely stupid), spotlighting
the fact that satire that isn't labelled as such is BOUND to be interpreted
as reality (how can ANY satire outdo the REAL opinions some people post?).

Frankly, I'm surprised you bit into this one.
