Oh wow, so it's not really sarcasm, it's irony, situational irony, going against the expectation of receiving missinformation and actually getting real information. I guess I learned something new today.
Well, I usually don't notice this since this isn't my native language and i find it to slow to use a translator, because I have to read it to find if it's ok, and sometimes it's relly wrong…
wait, I drifted… what was I talking about?
oh yes, the meme, It's just irony.
