Does Not Illustrate: World Of Snark

There have been concerns that World of Snark only shows one person instead of multiple. However, some pushed back against this to keep it because the detector senses sarcasm from multiple areas.

Keep or Pull?

[up][up] It does have a tiny satellite dish, implying it can capture sarcasm like a satellite would (i.e. from many sources). Still, that seems like a stretch at best.

Pull.

Keep. The device is giving off a lot of readings without being pointed at anyone in particular. It's not an amazing image, but this is hard to illustrate, there are enough indicators for the trope, and I don't think it's hurting the page.

See, my issue is that I always took it as the dude himself being sarcastic which made the machine go off. But that might just be me.

[up] A person who builds a sarcasm detector is probably Sarcasm-Blind, so I don't see that.

Keep per MurlocAggroB's reasoning.

That's plenty of consensus to pull the pic. It's gone and the page is tagged for this thread.

Oh, a sarcasm detector. That's a real useful invention. (It then explodes)

I'll go ahead and close this a little early; there's been ample time for replacement.
