He may be a cheap confectionery poster, but he's no fool.
To determine the real fools on this planet, one has to look no further than US currency bills. 'In God We Trust'.
You see, what Americans don't understand is that God really doesn't like them. To prove this, he gave Brits an innate ability to use sarcasm purely and simply to annoy and confuse Americans, Canadians, and every other non-British race on the planet.
Taffy may be a 'Brit', but he's Welsh. Welsh people are often slow-developers when it comes down to their 'sarcasm gene'. This development is inhibited by their 'sheep gene'. You see, people from 'The Valleys' not only have a 'sheep gene', but, in the event of an accident, it allows them to be fully capable of accepting a blood transfusion from 'Flossy' herself.
In the same way as a 14-year old girl's breasts are still developing, Taffy's sarcasm gene is still developing.
Anyone who reads Taffy's posts, and takes them seriously, is the fool. Taffy is just practicing using his sarcasm gene.
Keep on practicing, Boyo, you'll get there in the end, lol.
Well, firstly the poster Taffy ain't Welsh. I think he does Welsh people no great service by pretending to be Welsh! Rather the opposite, methinks.
Secondly, Americans. Generally speaking, one can judge a nation's intelligence according to its popular TV shows. Doing so tells us that Americans tend to be poorly educated. However, America does have its fair share of intelligentsia and brilliant academic minds. So, I'm not sure we should consider their lack of the use of sarcasm and irony as a reliable measure of the intelligence of US citizens.

If this cheap confectionery poster had any subtlety or cleverness his posts could be damaging.
Fortunately his shrill silly voice merely alert readers to the devious antics of recruiters and private schools in China.
No one is fooled by a fool.
There's no fool like an old fool!
This proverb is applicable to Taffy imo.

You'll need a fake degree to get that Z visa- maybe the school will help you out with that. You are going to have to trust to the experience of the agency Maybe they will know a school which can keep on extending your 'F' Visa.. Either way if you really want to do this, really want to teach in China, you can't afford to listen to old fuddy-duddies on this site who tell you it's just not cricket. They don't play cricket in China and illegal working is considered respectable by most Chinese. Suggest you do a correspondence degree when in China. Good luck. Please tell us how you get along.
Taffy's post, see above, deserves deletion in my opinion!
