    Err… no?

    As far as I can tell, “hyperpolic” is a typo, and you meant “hyperbolic”, which kinda fits, but it would be “contains a hyperbolic statement,” rather than “contains hyperbole.” It would be less clear, though, since “hyperbolic” can refer to either “hyperbole” or “hyperbola”.

    Meanwhile hyperbole refers only to a figure of speech and not potentially an open curve with two branches.

    Sorry, did I ruin your joke? I ruined your joke didn’t I. Man, I just can’t stop myself from being a pedantic jackass…
