I read it as exaggeration for comic effect. Maybe a cultural difference - it's a common way to make a point here in Britain.

- jazoom 10y agoMaybe. In Australia we call it "jumping to conclusions" or "unfounded accusations".
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIt's both, actually. Try reading the original "accusation" in a very sarcastic tone. Poe's law and all.
- vacri 10y agoThis Australian disagrees. C'mon man, consider the tone of the OP.
- jazoom 10y agoConsider the tone of my remark about what we call it.
- ClassyJacket 10y agoNah mate, I'm Australian and I understood pretty easily that it was a simile or parallel, not an accusation.
