Sarcasm is a tone of irony. The definition of irony stipulates that there must be a third enlightened party observing one party playing a joke or trick on another, who falls for it because they are ignorant unlike the observer. WE are the enlightened party here, and the joke is VISTA!

How deliciously ironic.

Nah. There is a sense of humor. What we really have is waaaaaaaay to many asses that write stuff like this and are serious... so many that most readers of the OP skipped it.

It's amazing how the great satires of our time are misunderstood. Be it Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal: For Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick," (where he proposes eating children for food), or this late, great masterpiece by the OP, satire can be easily missed.
