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.

    I see lots of “YouTubers” saying they never read comments after one or two days. For exactly that reason.
    Lots of people just don’t get satire, sarcasm, or irony. There have been a few studies on the subject. Their brains are just not wired for it.
    I suspect something similar is going on with giant truck owners and empathy! 😉
