Not unlike the way that gaming technology or 4chan’s infrastructure is serious.

4chan's infrastructure is serious, but it started out as a joke. Much of gaming technology was as well created for fun first.

Anyway, I like it. Having to choose one business over another, ceteris paribus, I'd always go for the one with the sense of humour.
