Reminds me of Schizopolis movie (by Steven Soderbergh):

>Fletcher Munson: [sunnily, on homecoming] Generic greeting!

>Mrs. Munson: [warmly] Generic greeting returned!

>[they kiss and chuckle at each other]

>Fletcher Munson: Imminent sustenance.

>Mrs. Munson: Overly dramatic statement regarding upcoming meal.

>Fletcher Munson: Oooh! False reaction indicating hunger and excitement!

A sentence remarking this concept was implemented in a different media.

----

Title of the song

Naive expression of love

Reluctance to accept that you are gone

Request to turn back time and rectify my wrongs

Repetition of the title of the song

A mildly annoyed reply quoting the Hacker News Guidelines to point out that:

> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups.

In other words, clickbait.

Fox News used to be awful in this respect, with ledes such as "(Important thing) happens in (unnamed city)". Now they name the city. So that trick apparently backfired. It seems to have died out, along with "One weird trick..." articles.

New York Times opinion articles, though, have become worse. Today, "This May Be the Most Important Medical Story of the Decade". It's not.

A comment not about the article, but rather about the perceived quality of the HN comments.
