Tragic news today reported in a hard-hitting Onion exclusive. A teenage girl, capable only of texting and rolling her eyes sarcastically has been declared legally brain-dead and will be euthanased by her parents. Using this case as precedent, bodies are sure to be stacking up, judging by what I see on the subway every day.
For once, I’m not being sarcastic. You don’t have to bother running your sarcasm-detecting algorithm over that headline, students at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Because it’s true!
This is a great idea (insert Sarcmark). Rather than actually using language to express sarcasm online, now you can buy an “official” punctuation mark to represent when you try to be funny online with sarcasm, but fail miserably.
