I don't agree. Does everything these days need a damn disclaimer? "This is a joke, and these statistics may have been made up for humorous purposes?" C'mon, we're taking this WAY too seriously.
This is TILTED HUMOR. You can't take this stuff as factual.
Well, if it's disclaimers you want, here are a few amusing one's I've stumbled accross:
