Then they go away and write a little copy to go with it. So generally the whole point is just the headline anyway. I doubt anyone there would be offended by your comment (which I assume wasn’t intended as an insult, but just saying they’d agree with you)

Often the headline is very funny but the attempt to stretch it into an article fails.

I don't think the articles are really meant to be read, it's just that a single mass of one liners gets old quickly.
