   Definitely the 14th material fallacy (to be included in De sophisiticis elenchis Aristotulum. BTW, somebody got his mobile number?)…

   Only if you know what an ad hominem is, and still don’t get it.

   The title text is clearly an ad matrem fallacy.

   @ Mr GBH and Clem: um… ad hominem means attacking the person (instead of their argument). So… that’s the joke.

   I know… don’t explain the joke. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitle0t9r68ih?from=Main.DontExplainTheJoke

   wouldn’t it make more sense if it was tu quoque instead of ad hominem?
