Perhaps a [Satire] note should be added to the headline.

its tagged as satire at the very top of the page, first thing under the title (also, CVEs are numeric only, so the "LGTM" (looks good to me) and CVE "YIKES" is also a big giveaway, on top of ~all of the text being outlandish)

    >it’s buried in the tags as grey on light grey on white. if you happened to miss the tags, reading approximately any of the article should make it pretty clear. "This report was reviewed by Legal, who have asked us to clarify that the fox was depicted as over eighteen and that the sunglasses remained on throughout."

      Quoting literally the last paragraph is not helping to promote this as obviously satire

        it was just my favorite part. i can copy/paste all of the outlandish parts, if you want, but i would be copy/pasting the entire article. ignoring the satire tag at the top of the page, some examples from the first ~20%: - its on a personal blog, with no mention of what the actual product is - resolving an incident "by treaty" - "Severity: Informational → Critical → Withdrawn → Critical → Negotiated" - incident *duration* measured in "billable tokens" - link to a CVE named "YIKES" - an incident being resolved by the attacker reading a file - no dates provided, just "Day 1, 02:51 UTC" - creats.io doesn't exist and so on, and so on, and so on

    > grey on light grey That's not part of the satire?

It says a lot about the industry today that this post is somehow running afoul of Poe's Law...

Yes, the Americans are waking up, we need to make it abundantly clear to avoid them misunderstanding.

  Most of America has been awake for a few hours now. Maybe we need a warning that this post is known to the State of California to be satire.

Please don't! Getting tricked by the satire and then slowly realizing it's insane is half the fun.
