The title is an attempt to link the video to "The UNIX-HATERS Handbook" which was eventually printed as a handbook.

I understood the reference and was expecting something like that book. (Though TUHH also considers the shell.) I was disappointed this wasn't the case.

Please enjoy my Mona Pizza.

No, it is a pizza, not a painting. The title is an attempt to link the pizza to a much more famous painting, because that apparently works well enough to get on HN.

If it was upvoted by HN users, then it "works well enough" for HN.

Also, this practice is very common. Consider all of the "X considered harmful" media.
