The article itself is honestly a breath of fresh air.

Is there a name for this humorous style of repetitive, cheerful, repetitive writing? Especially with regards to generally negative news (oil spills, a naval jam, etc).
Another example: Discourse on HTTPS from n-gate, one of my favorite websites. I don't entirely agree with it and it isn't as funny as "the front fell off" and doesn't have the same sort of microhumor as the OP, but it was an excellent read nonetheless.

Just to be really pedantic: And because it turned too much. Because the ship is only wider than the canal when it isn't going perpendicular to it like in all the pictures taken of the incident....
Just to be really pedantic:
It's stuck because it's big, bigger than the place where it is, and that's why it's stuck.
And because it turned too much. Because the ship is only wider than the canal when it isn't going perpendicular to it like in all the pictures taken of the incident.
But more seriously, this is possibly one of the least controversial news stories within my lifetime and definitely the least controversial I've ever read, by far.
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point. Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen … I just don’t want...

Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen … I just don’t want people thinking that cargo ships aren’t safe.
Because some of them are built so they don't go sideways at all.
Not gonna lie, I kinda miss the boat being stuck. Feels like we've lost the good stuff this article mentioned now that the boat is no longer stuck. That, and the situation was pretty damn...

I like that the boat was stuck. I like that the boat is now unstuck. I like that the boat got unstuck by towing and digging, and more digging and more towing. I like that no one died from the boat...
I like that the boat was stuck.
I like that the boat is now unstuck.
I like that the boat got unstuck by towing and digging, and more digging and more towing.
I like that no one died from the boat being stuck.
I like that no one died from the boat being unstuck.
I like that there are no boat stuck deniers.
I like that there are no boat stuck truthers.
The boat was stuck. The boat is now unstuck. This is good.

Somehow, Elon Musk hasn’t even chimed in with an unwanted solution. Nature truly is healing.
I'm sure it's stressful if you're involved but to everyone I know it's been a good chuckle sending photos round groupchats.
In terms of recent news, I noticed there was quite a bit of agreement around the GameStop situation too.
Nice read. Reminds me of "the front fell off" in a few ways: repetitive style, topic.
I'm sorry but you made me imagine a parody of it but with this boat and I want that to happen so bad right now.
Lol I imagined what you wrote in the style of Goodnight Moon.

Can I just say: Fuck these articles. All they do is amplify the message.
Well then, snap your fingers and flash that ship back out of danger!
Buttery males!
