Aye, I would only find it funny if it were true. On a symbolic level rather on a level of wishing her ill as a person that is.

I haven't looked it up yet, but it was in the context of a joke that they carried on from a web page, so presumably they explained that beforehand. Though it depends how it was done obviously...
