OK, but none of that helps me to understand how I was supposed to know that the title was poorly written or that TexMexRex was being sarcastic.Before clicking on this story and posting, all I knew was that Saw VI was a movie in the Saw series coming out for Halloween 09.Knowing only that, what "rules" of textual sarcasm was I supposed to use to determine the statement was in fact sarcasm when to my knowledge it was completely plausible.Basically, where did I go wrong in my analysis of the story and comment? Besides not knowing enough about the topic. Since not knowing enough about the topic is perfectly acceptable. I am at a news website to learn more about and become aware of new topics for which I don't already have previous knowledge.If you already had previous knowledge on the topic and could use that to easily distinguish the sarcasm, then great for you, but why did you have to be so immature and make fun of others who simply didn't have the prior knowledge?

Congrats for coming out of your thirty-year coma.I'd suggest that you not listen to contemporary music either.

You went wrong when we tried to explain it to you, and you still didn't get it.

Exactly my thoughts, having Italian influence doesn't even make sense when thinking of the spread of languages
