sarcasm

Featuring some of the latest�Twitter�and�Facebook�comments about Tosh.0.

This tweet is better than anything our marketing department has come up with.

Supposedly, a group of Israeli researchers have created a computer algorithm that is capable of detecting sarcasm in text, according to the UK's Telegrpah.

Awesome!� I bet they are sooo proud of themselves.� Give these guys a giant pat on the back for such an important invention!

Now they can go out to bars and go up to hot chicks and be like, "We created a computer algorithm that is capable of detecting sarcasm," and totally score with all the hottest models!

Time to engrave these researchers' names on a plaque with Albert Einstein, George Washington and Pele!

And so on with those types of jokes…

I HATE having to clarify that I?m just joking. It?s bad enough that I have to change my tone when speaking. But it?s even worse to have to clarify sarcasm when I?m typing:

?I can?t wait.? (Joking?)
?I?m so excited to be at work.? (Not!)

All of my emails require me to spell out tone so I can actually be understood. Which is why I am sooooo super excited about SarcMark. (That sentence? There's a hint of mockery in it.)

FINALLY! There is a symbol I can buy to replace all my LOLs and JKs and smiley faces that used to formerly announce my ironic tone. (Here is where I would have a winking emoticon or something. Because I'm not being serious.)

The SarcMark software will simplify everything. Once users pay $1.99 to download the symbol and then go through and explain it to each of their friends:

?Woohoo! Another Monday!? (That little swirly symbol? That's a SarcMark. It denotes sarcasm. I'm not really happy it's Monday.)

See how much easier everything will be?
