If I hadn’t seen the joke before, I wouldn’t get the joke?
FTR, this is where I first saw the gag; in a post where someone was asking for an explanation of it. Even from the title it was pretty obvious, since I was familiar with the concept of typos and common internet usage of superfluous exclamation points .
Thank you for making my case for me.

Just FTR, I was confused by !!!111one1! as well, but couldn’t be arsed to ask.
And at my age, I’m grateful that I didn’t know (although I did read SA for awhile there).
I remember being at a grad. school party in mid- to late '96 where someone described a show he had seen on Japanese television: a seven year old girl was told that her mother had died, her grief was filmed, then she was given the “happy” news that her mother wasn’t dead after all. Some people just shook their heads about how depraved Japanese popular entertainment was. I said that they were only about five years ahead of us depravity-wise. Does anyone know if we’ve closed the depravity gap in the ten years since then? I’d like to think we’re number one (with a side order, apparently, of number two).
There’s this song by Lou Reed called The Kids that has the sound of kids wailing. It’s really harrowing, and there’s a rumor that the producer got his kids into the studio and told them their mom died, and recorded their cries for the song.

This is OK only if it’s for the anti-Bush cause.
