Ohhh, so it was satire. Ok ok... Hmmmm...

So ya think it's ok to 'joke' about shock-collars and torture, because hey, it's just satire. Even tho that's for real used to torture people in today's world. Good to know that it's all definitely fodder for just a joke. Right? Joking about torture doesn't seem awesome to me.

But hey, if it's satire, man...
