Well observed. ;) Before opening the conversation here, my mind and my lips had a "But why?" perfectly synchronized. I must say the explanation, as unpleasant as it was, perfectly fit the link!
It's pretty typical of Vice, I'd say. They don't need to make their titles clickbait-y since they purposefully write about shocking/taboo things.
It’s more like the “I don’t know what else I was expecting” meme from Arrested Development.
