The humor in this possibly may be obscure, but upon encountering it I actually laughed out loud (not the fake "*lol*" that permeates online chat, even when the person typing it has an expressionless face, but real, verbal chuckling that prompted a furtive glance out my office door to see if I was, by chance, being frowned at by disapproving coworkers). I can picture a conversation of this sort (with a suitable substitute for the Sony topic) occurring between me and any of a number of my family members, illuminating in stark words a difference in humor styles. I say this not in criticism, but in observation; I imagine I am uniquely suited in my family to use the word "acquiesce" in any form of joking, antagonistic or otherwise.
