Most of you are brain damaged.
Sarcasm: Evolutionary Survival Skill
Neurophysiologists at the University of California have recently discovered that sarcasm plays an important part in human social interaction. Subsequently, people who don’t get sarcasm may have some damage in their parahippocampal gyrus, located in the right brain, which means that they are unable to respond in socially appropriate ways. Hmm, perhaps this explains why some Americans don’t get sarcasm? Any Americans who were offended by the previous statement may need to question their evolutionary survival skills.

Re: Most of you are brain damaged.
The social tool of sarcasm includes detecting tone of voice, and to a lesser extent facial expression and body language. None of that exists on the internet, which is why many people have a much harder time detecting it than in real life.
I'm not one of those people, of course.

Re: Most of you are brain damaged.
I can't remember what he said.
I'll presume it was probably just a lighthearted "I disagree" comment. There seems to be a current crackdown against those.

Re: Most of you are brain damaged.
