The Straw Man Fallacy, Aylesford

This is the definition of the straw man fallacy:

A straw man fallacy occurs when someone distorts or exaggerates another person’s argument, and then attacks the distorted version of the argument instead of genuinely engaging.

The person behind the straw is actually my brother and as far as I know 
we weren't having an argument and neither of us was attacking the other with a distorted version of it. It does look like, however, that he's sticking two fingers up at me behind those shades. It's enough to start an argument!
