Are you actually retarded?

Is it a pre-requisite to be a bit thick to work in graphic design?

1) Even a turnip could work out that it was a playful question.
2) Even if it wasn't playful it's a question, not a statement.

Now, why don't you get back in your box instead of trying to make yourself look hard / cool / intelligent or whatever you're trying to accomplish here.

This may help you out, since you seem to be having difficulties understanding your own motives here.

"Rhetorical Question:
A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply (e.g.: "Why me?") Rhetorical questions encourage the listener to think about what the (often obvious) answer to the question must be. When a speaker states, "How much longer must our people endure this injustice?", no formal answer is expected. Rather, it is a device used by the speaker to assert or deny something."

You can play stupid all you like, but its obvious what your intentions were. You weren't asking a question looking for honest answers. You had a bone to pick and wanted to vent your frustrations.
