But this is so obviously several bridges too far. No one's posting this on Reddit of all places and thinking they're about to get some sympathy.

Part of the humor in the posting of this stuff is watching how many people will take it at face value and engage with it. There's an entire Facebook world I stumble upon now and then where thousands and thousands of people are just reacting to things like this all day. It's like some kind of Bosch painting done up in comment pixels.
