It's a http://fark.com style headline. No idea why engadget adopted it though.


Engadget used to have witty headlines when they were covering something legitimately funny or ironic. The writing had a sort of fun, Brooklyn street-vibe to it that dated to when Peter Rojas ran the site.

Unfortunately, this headline is a perfect example of where Engadget has gone in its AOL-Way, post-Topolsky era: trying to be funny by formula. It's mostly missing the charm of the style it is ostensibly following.
