From your link there:

> written in a mangled form of German.

If you show this to anyone who knows German, they will recognize that this was written by someone who doesn't.

I believe the comment you replied to is what is known as a "joke".

Given that the commenter left another comment about having been misinformed, I don't think it was a Joke.

So the stereotype rings true then.

The one about German’s lacking a sense of humor?

Ja

yeah, it was a joke and what you just linked to was sarcasm and/or mockery.
