I've undone your change, the "hoax" was accurate in characterising how people signing the "petition" were fooled by it. Most "satire" websites include an "about" page revealing in small text that the page is a joke - this is more like the Sokal affair which is called a "hoax" in the first sentence because it was meant to fool people first, then the "hoax" nature was revealed. -- Callinus (talk) 16:43, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello Brunyon, while I personally agree that hoax is not the best term to use (I prefer parody), this terminology was extensively debated in the past and and editors here agreed (more or less) on using hoax. I don't think there will be consensus to change it at this point, but any suggestion to change it should probably start on the article's talk page. Anyway, good luck and happy editing.
