Yellow Journalism?

Is this story about $75./per pair of concert diapers from Depends worthy of being in the daily news stream?

Appearing in the SF Chronicle
https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/liquid-death-pit-diaper-concert-19984718.php

“Designed to absorb “recycled Liquid Death water” (translation: urine) during concerts, the Pit Diaper promises to keep fans dry and comfortable with leak-proof technology and odor-neutralizing materials. They also come with adjustable waist and hip sizes.”

But who even cares about a random woman relieving herself in public at a music concert?
That depends on one’s view of what’s urgent.
How did the story get so much attention?
Presumably, there must have been a leak

Clearly, the story whets the interest of the Chronicle editors. Surely, the trickle-down effect for the PR agency and manufacturer is one of relief as the product is flowing off store shelves.

Perhaps we should change the subject?
