The fact that you think a submission like this will get flagged is a good indication that it may be off topic or inappropriate. In that case, why submit it? There are plenty of other sites where this submission would be perfectly ok.
it wasn't just about submitting it anywhere. Hacker News is really the only site of this nature I frequent and thought this crowd would enjoy the humor.
Yet many things get flagged for weak reasons. (ie. just because person x didn't like the article).
