The SarcMark is a punctuation mark to show sarcasm. Exclamations have !s,
questions have ?s, and sarcastic remarks have a period with a spiral around
it.
The makers are serious about the mark – the Telegraph says they're applying
for a patent – but jokey about its uses. Thank god, because you can't be
humorless if you'd like to teach the world to smirk.
While the $1.99 price tag deserves some derision, the SarcMark is marketed by
this cute video of a sarcastic super...villain? hero? Caped lunatic who
stamps a rune on a jogger lady's butt? I can't tell what's ironic any more!
