Term for the Day: Poe's Law


From the article at Wikipedia:
Poe's law is an internet adage which states that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, parodies of extremism are indistinguishable from sincere expressions of extremism.[1][2] Poe's Law implies that parody will often be mistaken for sincere belief, and sincere beliefs for parody.[3]
I hope that was enlightening.  Sincerely!
