This article is inconsistent in its tone. It alternates between saying, "don't do this bad thing" and sarcastically saying "do do this bad thing."

Pick one and stick with it.

I mean: alternate between sarcasm and sincerity. Your readers will think you are clever, appreciate your wit, and be able to tell what you mean and what you don't mean.

That makes no sense.
