It's a linkbait title, probably wouldn't have even made the front page without it. You can complain about it, but it's human nature to be attracted to sensationalism and controversy, as tabloid newspapers and reality tv show producers will be happy to tell you.
It's also possibly a not-too-suble nod to the comedy movie "Waiting", which featured a sex-crazed chef.
“When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.”
