Came here to say the same thing, gave up reading article after half way through when it became apparent it was a straw man.
This makes no argument; it is satire -- a caricature -- as has been repeatedly pointed out; hence, it cannot be a straw man.
Now, this is not to say that it might not blamelessly strike you as unfunny; in this case, though, you may want to reword your comment as "not funny IMO".
Shrugs I liked it
