The corollary to this would be, why would someone invent such a screwball thing as this?

Good question. Three immediate off-the-top-of-the-head responses:

1. Politics.

2. Why do people make hateful jokes about people, including presidents, in the first place?

3. Ask the people who delight in creating and spreading computer viruses and works. Seems the same sort of mentality to me.
