I'm astounded, I would have thought that putting an explanation that the article was satire would like...work. Should I have made it giant screaming red text?

I still reserve the right to be astounded. One of my beta readers said I needed to add a disclaimer that this talk is satire, so I went through a few rounds to make the warning right. I guess we didn't expect someone to get caught up in the title!
