Yes it was, although, to be perfectly honest, I first thought "That's pathetic" and then noticed how hilarious it was and posted it.
Were you laughing with your first thought or at your first thought?
With it, obviously.
So it was, in fact, unironic, sardonic humor. And not ironic self-referential humour. For it to be irony you need to mean something other than what you're saying. Had you been laughing both with AND at it it would have been ironic sardonic humour.
But I'm sure you knew that. You're very smart after all. Your mean behaviour proves that you are highly intelligent, by asserting your higher intellectual status than others.
/\ Can you guess what kind of humour that* is?
*and this
I voted the "pathetic" comment down but this one up so there was no net change in karma. I don't think you deserve any karma hit because I think the intent was fine; only the delivery was botched.
Just FYI in case you care. :)
I did the same.
