Perhaps if someone would explain the joke? (Right here, I mean) Then we could tell how severe it is.

[This is what the joke would’ve been in reference to](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYKHek8Z7zk). Just generic joking about a kid having a large head.

**EvilTOJ** ’s post was innocuous in intention, to my mind, if not entirely in tact, and was presumably their way at the moment of expressing their shock and dismay at the sudden shift in the situation, as others have said.

(But, as **tomndebb** said, yeah, mild corrective, no warning, let’s all move on.)

Even if I did change the thread title, anyone reading the OP should have been able to understand the references to Talosians and oversize heads. We’re not going to remove the actual joke posts, but if now someone needs to do a little legwork – i.e. read the first post – in order to get the jokes, I don’t believe that’s a problem.
