The real joke is the "Obama Phone" meme from back in the day, is from the Lifeline project that was started by Reagan.

It's funny to see how all the history has been scrubbed from the Wikipedia entry.

Was the /s needed?

You misunderestimate the gullibility of the average human. The \s is always needed (though the interrobang is also acceptable).

There have been quite a few punctuations proposed for indicating sarcasm, but interrobang not one of them - that (‽) is literally a combined ? and !, and is (per wikipedia) for "a question in an excited manner, expresses excitement, disbelief, or confusion in the form of a question, or asks a rhetorical question".

This page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_punctuation - has sarcasm ones (but I don't think any are as well known as the interrobang, which itself isn't exactly universally used... though personally I'm weird enough to have a keyboard shortcut to type it on my phone)

I find all "/s" tags to be offensive to comedy.

Can you imagine "A Modest Proposal (/s)" ?
