To everyone taking this seriously, why do you feel the need to be a linguistic scholar right now? Seriously. It's a joke.
I think you mean sarcasm...
Alas, still funny, as the meaning is there.

Double negatives forms positive in russian as well. And also considered as a grammar mistake. =\

The joke goes like this:
" A linguistics professor was lecturing his class one day.
'In English', he said, 'A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.'
A loud voice from the back of the room piped up, 'Yeah, right.' "
I just thought it was a good idea to make a comic about it ..

the language called female where every positive is a negative and every negative is a trap
i don't believe i didn't not perceive this complexly simple concept sooner
Actually, in that context "Yeah, right." is used sarcastically. But it can be also used as a positive. Your argument is invalid.
