Does the register think it's the onion??

  Eh, once in a while it's nice to see them raise their quality of reporting.

    It's not much of a baseline to rise up from though...

      Baby steps.

  As far as I know, it's much more like a tabloid than satire (I'm not British though).

    As a rule the register's articles/reporting are based in/on factual events, but often take an incredulous or satirical tone. This is normally confined to the headline or the summary line, but sometimes applies to longer pieces.

  This is the exact thing I was thinking "Is this some kind of joke? like an Onion article?". Well, as H G Keyserling once said: "Generalizing is always wrong".

  "The results were clear-cut, apparently: engineering students cared nothing for other human beings' feelings and had few of their own. They were cold-hearted and uncaring, remorseless human machines. By contrast the medical students were warm and bursting with empathy and love."
