I agree: Just good humor; I mean, one must always remember the audience: While this is far from a private group, and it shouldn't be, the audience can still be safely assumed to be a bunch of Linux users and professionals who understand the irony of the statement.
It's a sad day when a satire gets interpreted as an endorsement or perpetuation of a crime... And while I have seen some ridiculous things in the news about courts upholding claims that posting a URL to a page that may contain pirated data as being a crime in and of itself, I can't imagine a day when we have to stop having fun out of fear of someone committing a crime based on a joke...
