it was all a joke?

this was posted in the ny times corrections today:

An article on Jan. 28 about women who commiserated over dating Wall Street
bankers caught in the financial crisis described a group they had formed, Dating
a Banker Anonymous, as a support group. That is the name of their blog. Its
creators originally told The Times that about 30 women had participated, but
since publication, they have said that all involved were friends. Laney Crowell,
one of the women who started the blog, said in the article that it was “very
tongue in cheek;” she has since described it as a satire that embellishes true
experiences for effect. Had the nature of the blog been made clear at the
outset, the article would have described it accordingly, not as a support
group.


what??? DABA was tongue in cheek? they weren't supposed to be IN on the joke. we were supposed to be laughing AT them, not with them.

i still believe.
