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

   Is it bad that I don’t quite get the joke?

   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?
