As with probably too many words in the English language, "sarcasm" has more than one meaning. Yes, on the one hand it can be intended as satirical wit, with Dr. House as a comtemporary classic example.
In the case above, I also did not find it funny and did not think it was meant to be funny. Sarcasm is more usually caustic and bitter, where the opposite of what is written is actually intended.
