Speaking as someone with a folder holding over three thousands surreal/sarcastic/just-plain-weird memes, I have to say this comes way too close to invoking Poe's Law. I mean, yeah, it's funny, but there could be people who are actually serious with that list.

Several years ago, a non-Jewish politician was speaking to a group of Hasidic constituents, telling them that he would bring home the bacon. He (and they) saw the humor in it.

I'm a big animal lover. But I really lost it when I watched the boys of South Park visiting a PETA enclave, which was inhabited by people married to their goats.

@Phideaux: there *are* people who are serious with that list. They're PE"kill-shelter"TA. These people - if we can call them that - do not make jokes.
