I appreciated your contribution of sarcasm and I'm sorry if my playing off your sarcasm caused you grief. It's stupid that people downvoted (what's the HN euphemism for this?) your comment. It was appropriate.

"Gen-Y places a high value on authenticity. Sarcasm can be seen as 'inauthentic' and diminish the immediately perceived value of a piece. Satire, however, is a goodthing. Sarcasm is cheap; Satire is art. ... Sarcasm is more easily absorbed by the digestive tract of Gen-Y due to the short chains it forms. ... Society, long having moved from prechewed, tasteless meat into pre-prechewed, more tasteless meat substitute, the majority of Gen-Y simply can't process more than 140 characters at a time. ... Somewhere in every great satire post-2000 must be sarcasm, how ever much it cheapens the 'experience'."[1]
You'd think I wouldn't be getting killed here. Everything is falling flat. Bah humbug.
