A really Serious License would have proper legal review by at least one 
qualified attorney. Can you get that?
I'd like to hear from your attorney a credible explanation regarding the 
effectiveness of this language.

Also, if you want to be serious, you should probably stop being 
"wtfpl.user". Nothing associated with "wtf" is likely to be consdiered 
serious.

    Thanks
