If it doesn't work it's still a joke, just not in the sense you're thinking.

I'm thinking in the same sense that the author is. They actually meant a literal joke, as in April Fools, because they said as much in the first paragraph.

The original comment comes off like you're accusing them of being contradictory with themselves, but they're not.

I am saying the author is contradicting themselves, but I wasn't trying to draw attention to the dual meaning of the word "joke."

That "thing" is not legit, as the headline claims. It's a joke, I'm just not sure if the author or designer are in on it.
