For those who have been following @MayorEmanuel via twitter, it is increasingly evident that he is about to be sucked into a space/time vortex by the end of the day, thus ending his messages to his loyal followers.

You'll be missed fake Rahm, hopefully they have coffee in whatever parallel dimension you are transported.

Yes, perhaps a parallel dimension in which you are actually funny.

I've been following him/her for a couple of months now and have found his surreal take on Chicago and this election to be quite amusing (and I didn't even vote for the guy). Given the amount of press and followers this fake account has and has received, I'm clearly not alone in my amusement.

Naturally, humor is personal, and subjective, but I find it very f-----g funny.

Humor is subjective, I agree. Maybe I would think it was funnier if there weren't people making comments on other forums using my name. If I don't think it's funny when it happens to me, I am unlikely to think it's funny when it happens to someone else.
It's obvious to you and I that it's a fake, but some people might not get that.
Also, as a farce, it just doesn't strike me as all that clever, just mostly vulgar.
Like you say, though, humor is subjective.

I agree. There are some really sick stupid people out there that think using other people's names is funny. It is not.
