IMO, the post did fall within the newsgroup guidelines listed in the FAQ:

"Original humor that has a strong basis in Python is also acceptable.
Python based means things such as parodies on Python bits or original works
that involve Python ideas in a new way.  If you think that other people
could read your creation and say to themselves “Hey! That resembles Monty
Python!” then it should be fine.  "

The follow up posts of "this doesn't belong here" from people
thinking the post was spam violated the newsgroup guidelines too:

"When you see Spam (articles that are cross posted to newsgroups they
have nothing to do with), do not post follow ups.  That just adds to the
problem and usually creates more cross posts."
