Sarcasm is not only the lowest form of wit, it is also here deployed to create a false dichotomy. Clearly, 'merkins can make jokes, but that speaks little to nothing about their willingness or ability to take them. Obviously, a diversion into US media culture to illustrate how it reflects and reinforces a wider culture almost entirely devoid of the concept of self-deprecation would be unwelcome, but such a ludicrous comment surely invites one.

For fucks sake! I came here for easily sharable memes not thoughtful discussions on dichotomy (true or false).
And this whole thing about US media culture just boils my piss!
Moor Memes Pleze...
Americans do really appear to struggle to take a jokeā¦
That probably explains their lack of success in TV, cinema, theatre, literature, and stand up.
