  Oh come on, this is at least somewhat funny or approaching neutral. No need for all the downvotes.

    It was funny, but no one likes jokes here. I've tried.

      There's a certain kind of jokes that's enjoyed around here. You have to be careful. But the best advise is: Don't joke.

        Jokes can go over well, but stupid jokes generally don't. Similarly, I've even seen humor in legal documents, but a legal document that was just a joke with no purpose or substance probably wouldn't be met with anything but annoyance.

    I went into with my eyes open :-) For whatever reason, HN is "serious" whereas e.g. Reddit is "funny". Not sure why, but there you have it. Anyways, every once in a while I make the decision to burn a few karma and say something stupid. Sorry if it stood in the way of somebody's sale to Google.
