Roomba is making a lawnmower. Astronomers HATE this

Can we please start a discussion about the increasing number of “Click-Bait” type of headlines we are starting to see on Boing Boing? This one isn’t as bad as some I’ve seen but it is an example.

I’ve always considered Boing Boing to be a respectable and serious minded outlet with engaging stories for intellectuals not a sketchy click-hole resorting to in vogue marketing tricks to up click through rate. I would love if we as a community could discourage this type of pseudo-journalistic headlines.
