Its based upon a relative system of pleasure pain. You see, we get amazing amounts of pleasure at your discomfort. As such, his decision to post it on the main page was probably incredibally pleasurable to him; clearly it gave you a large amount of pain.

In retrospect, you should probably thank him for doing this; imagine all the other things you wouldn't have been doing had this exciting (and contraversial) decision of his not arisen.

...its a pretty boring world to live in that you care what category a news post is stuck in.
