While I knew about the above I still didn't really get your joke. Calling the fake company Genocide Inc. is kind of integral to their joke, in that the students are protesting against a genocide. If the headline was about Global Tetrahedron not hiring protesters (even before the real one existed) it wouldn't really make much sense.

Sure, but my joke made sense in context

I got the joke. It was good.
