That's not particularly either nice, nor warranted.  Not funny.

The New York Times didn't seem to think so :-)

"Paul Allen to build a shrine to sci-fi.
You'd think with his billions of dollars he could afford a prettier smile. Look at those teeth. Austin Powers has nothing on him. Still, we do love sci-fi (plus, taking pot shots at the odd billionaire is in poor taste. After all, Austin's teeth are a tad worse in the original movie)."

well, i'm a big fan of bad taste and rich people need to be reminded that they aren't better than anyone else. the "emperor's new clothes" sort of thing.

it's a bit funnier if there is satire, but i don't expect great comedy from the Times. The onion is alot better at it!
