Suppose for the moment that the story were genuine rather than
satirical. Would it then get a YES rather than a BRIEF? (I think
so.) Given that, I'd tag it as YES. TDT2 does not include
satire-detection. Perhaps we could include that in TDT3.

The only advantage of BRIEF is that BRIEF stories are generally
excluded from evaluation (or were in TDT1), so what someone does with
the story doesn't matter. But I don't think that BRIEF is very
accurate.
