If it was written like this:

    "... the Ten-Tec "MORON"...

Then the meaning is clear - the term *moron* is referring to the radio not the
poster. The use of the word *the* added to the phrase makes the reference
clear.

Otherwise it should have been written:

    "... you MORON, Ten-Tec yadda, yadda..."

Making the relationship between *moron* and a person clear...

Of course if the intent is to be ambiguous and sly, then if done in good humor
add an "emoticon" (ick, who came up with that terminology...) like:

        :- ) or maybe ;- )

So, that way you can say somthing like:

    "... you stupid blithering idiot... ; -) "  and get away with it... in the
name of sarastic
humor, of course.

            -.-
