Aw, don't worry about it! One, you're not the first one to miss that something was a joke, and you won't be the last. Two, it's better that you reacted with helpful advice than with a lengthy rant. The way you reacted people can say, "He missed the joke, but his heart is in the right place." If you had launched into some explosive rant, people would have said, "He missed the joke, and he's a jerk." Hopefully someone will benefit from your post.
