Pointless Event, Part II

The Pointless Event recently mentioned has finally happened (seen via Bng Bng). It would have been funnier in an alternate timeline in which the surge either hadn't occurred or had been a failure and in which The New York Times weren't a left-wing paper.

By the way, I noticed the alleged prank includes an attempted satire on experts. I wonder if any of the Elitist Bastards would care to issue a rebuttal.
