That is the intent.

It pokes fun at the green agenda, since many of those who embrace such have been realy loathe to adopt electronic books over paper, and decried the manufacture of evil electronic devices early on. To counter them, nerds and geeks from across the political spectrum began using the dead tree term everytime one would normally say "paper."
