I think it's the same appeal as The Onion. It's satire. The best part of The Onion is reading the headline before the URL. I don't take stuff like this as a sincere attempt to make the alleged author look good. It's too far-fetched for that.

The common thread of all comedy is the unexpected. In this case, it's the "haha if only this were real, that would be great" element that makes it funny
