It does seem like it is an extreme, too extreme to be true, and that is probably why Sonnenberg could have felt it wouldn't be taken seriously, but there is so much in the world today like that. The fact is, it is believable, even though it was believed to be understood as a joke.
Kids tell classmates all the time in jokes, things that must be taken seriously. I think of one Washington State school massacre in particular. We no longer live in a society where jokes are jokes for the sake of jokes. But we do live in a society were some serious jokers think they can say anything they want to.
One example affects me directly: My brother, who has threatened me with death for as long as I have known him, took to a comedic line on the last statement he made. Does it mean he never meant it all the times before, just because there is a ha ha on it now? Two other people told me independently he was talking of that. I have seen on me, jobs created, literally created, at the expense of I don't know how many thousands of dollars, that I was enticed to apply for, and served as destructive elements to an otherwise promising future.
So, the fact that Sonnenberg said that very plausible statement could be accidental seriousness, or part of a distress call for the realities he has an attuned awareness of. Either way, intended or not, it is no joke.
