I'd personally love to have an E-Mail address ending with nuke.africa. If you can't understand that it's satirical/jokey, I feel bad for you.

Some people are way too serious on the Internet. If you are offended by a bunch of words without proper context you really need to go outside.

Also see this thread that discusses this at length: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33142122

The problem isn't "some people don't get that it's a joke". The problem is that it's a distasteful joke.

Who's to say that it's distasteful? Humor is very subjective.

I'd also argue that most people that complain about those jokes unironically think that author is actually racist, like it doesn't even cross their mind that it could be a joke, even a "bad" one.

Ironically, the fact that some people react in this way makes these jokes even funnier
