I guess the hint wasn’t good enough.
I’m sure this will be fixed in an hour or two, which may or may not break the link, but here it is anyway :)
Edit: They pulled the article about half an hour later.

Sarcasm On the Internet

Posted on January 15th, 2010 by primatage

Sarcasm isn’t exactly lost on the Internet. Smashing Magazine tweeted this pic today, showing the W3C laying a Twitter-sarcasm smackdown — I guess they’re not quite as dry a group of nerds as I thought they were — and it had me laughing. Then I read that a company in Michigan is now trying to [...]

In case that sounds a bit harsh, it’s because it is, but after reading yesterday’s release from the Oxford University Press, it’s warranted. The release announced Oxford’s coveted Word of the Year to be none other than the now ubiquitous Unfriend, which in and of itself is no matter of contention.
The problem is how they’ve [...]
