It’s been too long since something like this has happened. Kudos.

BREAKING NEWS! This is the perfect amount of stupid. I'm going to see if I can't convince my team to convert our codebase over ASAP. FOLLOW ME to find out how it goes.

Now we just need the companion turing complete languages:

Thunderfoot - write screenplays for youtube videos debunking articles written in Tabloid

Fisker - Writes troll posts to discord/irc/steam community to highlight how awesome TOPIC in AWESOME ARTICLE written in Tabloid is

Shitlist - Generates awesomelists repos on github for TOPIC

This is refreshingly ridiculous.

Missed opportunity:

The joke should be that regardless of the program you write, nothing happens. No real signal, just like most real clickbait content.

This would benefit from combining the literal rules from TrumpScript [0]:
