Satiric or not? Kinda hard to tell though I refuse to believe that someone could really write something like this and be serious about it. So yeah, most likely some kind of joke... Anyway read it for yourself and decide.

Call me an Ultrasmurf one more time, I dare you.
 The Emperor of Mankind wages a constant battle to protect humanity from the horrors of space. All that stand in their way are the mighty Space Marines. They are more than mortal, they are steel and they are doom. They are the champions of mankind. And the GREATEST, MOST BADASS of them all, are the ULTRAMARINES.
 In honor of Captain Titus of the Ultramarines' 2nd Company, an ultramarine unlike any other - may none find him wanting for his name shall forever live in glory, till the end of days.
Titus understood that the Codex Astartes is merely a set of rules, that it is supposed to guide young initiates of the Ultramarines, to inspire honor and sacrifce amongst them. He was also aware of how blindly some of his brothers followed the said set of rules, refusing to think for themselves thus consequently failing the true test of a Space Marine. He understood, better than anyone, that Ultramarines are not without flaws and that after all they are still human in a way. While he knew all that, he also knew that despite all their imperfections, they were the humanity's only hope for survival. |

I'm in a bit of a "banning things" mood today, and while David Cameron's mind is on regulating porn I'd also like him to turn his attention to Warhammer. Of course, it won’t be enough just to throw the pushers in prison – there will have to treatment for the addicts, too. The painters could be encouraged to join art classes and the collectors given stamps. And for anyone who needs a fix, walk-in clinics can provide a limited dose of Warhammer to get them through the day (perhaps a small goblin to paint). But the war on collecting camp little miniatures is one worth fighting, Mr Cameron. If only to save the next generation of boys from the years of acne and sexual deprivation that inevitably follow

a few skirmishes in the changing rooms
I don't know what kind of warhammer he was playing but it sounds very strange to be playing in the changing rooms.

Infiltrating Broodlord

the story is a spoof - it was posted at the time the British PM claimed he was going to ban pornography.
He attempted to ridicule the ban by comparing it with another addiction. If course, lots of warhammer fans missed the point and got annoyed, then lots of people who support the government got annoyed too. So, business as usual.

Some people collect for the sake of winning battles, others ( like muggins ‘ere) just for the sake of painting the models I can’t deny there was some joy in my Warhammer problem. Boys get a unique kick out of collecting and owning things that other boys don’t have, in beating them in wits or being able to show off a magnificently painted griffin. But it did function like an addiction. Once you get hooked, you find that the price of the models creeps up and up with every year. New ones are always coming on the market, and every five years or so they change the rules completely – which necessitates buying a whole new bunch of stuff. He's one of us. Should be on dakka

Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men. 
Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

That was a very poor "article".
I think the author was trying to be funny, but there may have been a somewhat serious undertone.
There are people out there who obsess over warhammer and neglect other aspects of their life to participate in the hobby. However, there are 'other things" going on with these people and if it wasn't warhammer, it would just be an obsession over something else.
In 20 years when I'm in my 40s I imagine I'll still be into table top gaming to some extent. I'd do my best to find a more mature scene though..... I won't game with anyone under 16 now because it would be awkward..... I can't imagine when I'm 40 lol.
