Yes, as a kid. I found it an interesting caricature. I am now discovering in awe, as you are the second person mentioning that, that some people actually take it for a serious criticism of the very notion of equality.
That's not even an exaggeration of the position you are attacking, that's a wilful misrepresentation.
