It surprises me sometimes how innocently naive people are. How people miss obvious jokes, parody and sarcasm online. I figured as more people use the internet, the less naive they'd be, but it seems like the opposite is happening. And the more obvious the joke, the more people seem to take it seriously.

On the mainstream Internet, you can't ever be sure. What you consider an obvious joke can actually be intended as 100% serious by the poster. Or it could be some small agency's "brilliant" plan at social media marketing targeting unsophisticated normies.
